There are interpreters for programs that are delivered over the network to be run locally by the unsuspecting user, in some surprising places.

For example: Here's a sound player that contains an entire 6502-based virtual machine, because the "sound file format" that it "plays" is actually an executable program. Unfortunately, the virtual machine hardware is not properly simulated, allowing the 6502 code to memory-map parts of the virtual machine manager itself using the virtual memory controller hardware and alter them.

This is very, very cool. It allows you to deploy application logic extremely close to the user (in terms of latency), and Cloudfront has an order of magnitude more edge locations than the other AWS services like EC2 and S3.

In fact, if the promised ability to read/write the request/response bodies does appear, it might be possible to deploy your entire website or app as a single Lambda@Edge function. (Not every app would fit within the size, memory, and CPU constraints, of course.)

The main limitation would probably be the fact that for each incoming HTTP request, your choices are limited to either making zero origin requests (i.e. the function generates the response directly) or one origin request. It's not clear how this could work if you wanted to make two origin requests and combine them to render a single response.

I'm totally going to sign up for the preview and play around with it! Especially if, like the regular node.js Lambda functions, you can include arbitrary Linux binaries with the function code. Compiled request-processing code would easily meet the 128MB/50ms criteria.
Can Uber Ever Deliver? Part Two: Understanding Uber’s Uncompetitive Costs
I can handle a lot of things. The HN community, however, cannot handle uncivil comments: they're toxic and force the community into spiraling incivility, producing enmity that keeps people from being able to discuss other topics after laying in to each other over politics.

If you want to make a volatile political argument on HN, the onus is on you to do so with extraordinary calmness and careful writing. Here, you're doing the opposite.
> Uber's business only works at scale, therefore they need to get there and deep discounts to get to scale make sense regardless of competitors.

I understand why this might appear to be the case, but that's not what this [0] HN front page article analysis asserts.

The article asserts that 'Uber’s actual financial results, which show no meaningful margin improvement through 2015 while the limited margin improvements achieved in 2016 can be entirely explained by Uber-imposed cutbacks to driver compensation. It is also contradicted by the fact that Uber lacks the major scale and network economies that allowed digitally-based startups to achieve rapid margin improvement'.

Interesting read.

I also want GRPC for my own stuff; ELB will work fine (in TCP mode), but I also want it to work through ingress. My understanding is HTTP2/GRPC support is coming to ingress - that aledbf has already implemented it, and it will be coming to the "official" repo soon; ingress is becoming a top-level project and there's some reshuffling that has to happen, but then aledbf has some great stuff in the pipeline.
Honest question. Why is charging consumers higher prices the "ethical" thing to do? Giving "kickbacks" is just another word for "charging customers less money".

Is the issuance industry so messed up that choosing to not screw over consumers is considered "unethical".
Same for me, didn't see that coming.

What a head-explodey argument: for Google's security team to be taken seriously, you require that Google alter their liability posture in a way that no other software company would. The first public company to do this would face shareholder lawsuits.

Who could possibly find such an argument convincing?
I once developed a hierarchical Markov chain, and I decided to use it to generate fortune cookie wisdom because I thought people would be more willing to overlook grammatical mistakes or be willing to interpret it as an expression of deep truth. http://www.kylem.net/stuff/fortunes.html (You might need to increase the "sense" parameter.)
FAQ says this. Is there any examples on setting it up? It isn't obvious from inside CodePipeline.

Yes. The CodePipeline Plugin for Jenkins can be used to integrate CodeBuild into Jenkins jobs. The build jobs are sent to CodeBuild, eliminating the need for provisioning and managing the Jenkins worker nodes.

I've heard a great saying once: "Happiness is the difference between expectation and reality." The more time I think about it, the more I agree.

I am starting to see that it applies to time as well. I used to feel like I have no free time. However, after thinking about it, it feels like that because I have big ambitions. I just want to do a lot.

I want to do my job well, work on my side project, spend quality time with my wife and kids, keep the house in good shape, get myself into better shape, help those around me, cook and eat healthy, grow my tomatoes, develop my mind, entertain myself, read books, keep up with the news, socialize with friends, call mom and dad, travel the world, and also have time to be by myself and cultivate calmness through solitude.

That is a lot. I've realized that I was demanding too much from myself. I made a conscious decision to lower my expectations of myself. I will still do all of the things above, and likely many more. I just won't try to do them this week, this month, or perhaps this year.

I posted this because I recalled reading about it while reading this [0] post on the front page.

Time and money being short causes a cycle to occur. You're hurried or worried about them, and so you make poor decisions, leading to continued hurry and worry. The article goes into greater depth on this, including studies and analyses. But since a lot of the discussion on the other post was related to this concept (in one way or another) I thought it relevant.

And then, very quickly, realizes to the surprise of no economist that they are no longer a monopoly.
A legitimate problem, but what is the solution? At the end of the day, the decisions must be made by human beings, and they can be biased, influenced, etc.

The judges are in an entirely separate, co-equal branch of government and they have lifetime appointments. The law empowering the FBI was made by another entirely separate, co-equal branch of government, whose members' jobs depend on their constituents votes in every district in the nation.
So we're getting C# and a new Node.js runtime for Lambda. Jeff, surely you're reading this - when are we getting Python 3 support as an additional runtime?

I've been waiting for months for re:invent in the hope that it would be announced today, only to be disappointed. I'm not the only one in this situation: stuck on Python 2.7, hitting issues left and right because of an ancient runtime that we no longer would care about were it not for Lambda.

Just today I hit another issue in production which impacted our webhook system. Wouldn't you know it, `json.dumps()` produces illegal json in Python 2.7 when you give it an IntEnum:

>>> from enum import IntEnum; from json import dumps, loads
>>> class E(IntEnum):
... A = 1
>>> dumps(E.A)
'E.A'
>>> loads(dumps(E.A))
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
ValueError: No JSON object could be decoded

Please. Do something about this. It's wasting so much time :(

I don't know where this "invite only" stuff is coming from. I was not invited, and had no relationship with anyone on the site, and no public profile of note. I signed up because I was curious what they were doing, and was added in a few weeks.

That's not to say they don't have some system of prioritizing sign-ups. Perhaps they do, but regardless there doesn't seem to be any method in place to prevent people joining.
The only pity here is you thread crapping on someone else's work. Its obviously apparent that your highly disgruntled and most likely suffering from lack of real world socialization. If your looking for authoritative responsibilities please ensure that there actually wanted before naming your self as the enforcer. Further, I would recommend you crawl back into the hole from which you came, as your comments provide no value to the public discussion at hand.

The media has a terrible time reporting on anything that requires scientific understanding to assess. The only real solution to this is to put folks with technical training in the media, and to give them real veto power on stories. The current mechanism where a non-technical writer reads a summary of technical results (e.g., a university press release) then asks a few technical contacts their opinion, is hugely flawed.

Ultimately, this road leads to the writing component of journalists being reduced to commodity status, so writers won't let it happen easily. And in any case, readers are selecting outlets based on their ability to tell a compelling story rather than get that facts right, so there's no market pressure.

At some point (172, they think) it has to stop, because electrons need to go faster than c to orbit. near this point, the electric field of the nucleus pulls electrons out of electron-positron virtual particles ('out of the fabric of space') and you get a "beta+" decay.

As a Civil Engineer myself, I feel like people don't realize the amount of underlying stuff that goes into even basic infrastructure projects. There's layers of planning, design, permitting, regulations and bidding involved. It usually takes years to finally get to construction and even then there's a whole host of issues that arise that can delay even a simple project. Case in point: I was the principal inspector for a small pump station project, estimated two weeks of construction and it took just over 3 months.

There's definitely room for improvement though. A big part of the issue is the mismatch between the private and municipal sides of the project. As someone on the private side as a consultant, it can be really frustrating to constantly jump through bureaucratic hoops that come across as massive wastes of time and money.
> Honorable mention: San Francisco is at 13th

SF is artificially small due to how the line was drawn. Even the Census Region is not really correct since it considers SF and SJ as different zones, which artificially pumps up SJ's significance.

In reality "SF"-the-region includes Silicon Valley and the East Bay, and includes the non-agricultural (basically northern part) of San Jose as a suburb.
Just an uneducated guess but... if an element was stable enough to amass a gram I don't think it would be that rare in the universe. At least unless the conditions in our accelerators are singular in the universe.
While I agree that I would also take the money, I disagree with the implicit argument that raising money in and of itself is a milestone with applauding. I also disagree that I'd end up taking that much - hindsight of course being 20/20 - since it obviously proved to be a difficult hurdle for them.

A large fundraise that doesn't have a very specific purpose or product milestone attached to it is a time bomb, and in many cases (Secret, YikYak, etc.) a bear hug that they can't possibly escape.

If you want to make the argument that Ryan didn't necessarily know how much runway he needed to build the vision he had, fine, but again, I don't think that excuses him from the consequences of that decision.
Kickbacks just means "charging customers less money" and "giving customers a better deal than their competitors" and "competing in the free market".

The insurance industry is so messed up that they have made it illegal to give customers good deals and have made it illegal to compete.

Imagine that a bunch of companies got together and decided that everyone should increase their prices. In the normal world that would be called illegal monopolistic pricing. In the insurance world, charging people less money and giving consumers a good deal is the illegal thing.

Never really been a thing around here from my experience, and I grew up in Alamo, surrounded by the type of people who would happily flaunt a summer home. Second properties are usually in Tahoe or southern California somewhere, maybe Hawaii. I know a few people who have done the whole Napa thing and started their own labels of varying quality, but that's less common.
> While I'm greatly in favor of studying and using psychoactive substances to help people heal in their lives, they're at most a supportive component in an overall treatment strategy. Our society's preference to just medicate problems away doesn't solve things over the long term.

All of these studies are treating the psychedelics as a tool for greatly enhancing therapy. No doctors advocating for their use are suggesting that troubled people should be dropping a bunch of acid at parties on the weekends. The general idea is to work with a patient to understand what their ailments are through talk therapy sessions; then to have a comfortable, controlled setting with doctors and therapists present to help guide the patient through the drug experience, assisting them through any difficult portions; and then to follow up with further sessions of talk therapy.

The "LSD will cure the world" craze died out with Timothy Leary, and with good reason--subsequent advocates (albeit with a few exceptions) have been more level-headed about these things acting as consciousness amplifiers that can go flying off in any direction unless they are channeled into helpful ones. The revival of interest that is taking place now follows a much more measured approach.

"Because of the very small fusion reaction probability (the fusion cross section is ~0.3–0.6 pb or (3–6)×10−41 m2) the experiment took four months and involved a beam dose of 4×1019 calcium ions that had to be shot at the californium target to produce the first recorded event believed to be the synthesis of oganesson.[9] Nevertheless, researchers are highly confident that the results are not a false positive, since the chance that the detections were random events was estimated to be less than one part in 100000."

No, it was a different niche, different promise and only one of them flopped (after all NeXTSTEP lives on as macOS, iOS, watchOS, tvOS, etc)

NeXTSTEP was Steve Jobs' attempt to build an OS that fulfilled the promise of what he saw during his visit to PARC (as opposed to just the graphical interface which is what was implemented with the Mac). It was a true-multi-user Unix with a beautiful UI and an object-oriented framework that was far more influential than its marketshare would have suggested (it led to Microsoft starting Cairo, IBM building WorkplaceOS, and Apple/IBM sinking fortunes and thousands of man-hours into Taligent/Pink).

BeOS was Jean-Louis Gasse's attempt to build a successor to the Mac (including Quicktime which came after Jobs) but built to be multiprocessor and SMT (symmetric multitasking) friendly from the start. It was --like the Mac-- a single-user OS but intended to extract all the performance possible from "modern hardware"

ACCESS Co. the current owner of the PalmOS and BeOS assets basically frittered away whatever potential BeOS had. So it definitely flopped.
Is it San Francisco or is it the San Jose-Oakland Metroplex?

I kind of expect people will say it is San Francisco and speculate that the other is closer to the truth.
Hosting your assets locally is not “supporting censorship.”
I'm still mostly optimistic. I think there was a lot of redundancies and too many papers were just printing wire stories and not adding a whole lot of value.

Today, I think for major stories at a state, national, or international level, there are still lots of journalists and reporters doing quality work. Even derided publishers like Buzzfeed are doing some really good work among the listicles.

I'm more worried about the local level. Who's going to cover local school board meetings or neighborhood news? Maybe that stuff doesn't need to be covered, I don't really know, but it feels like a loss.

For the first time in about 20 years, I'm thinking about subscribing to my local paper again.
This article is a charmingly strange look at the popularity of programming languages written - or perhaps heavily edited - by someone who is clearly an outsider to the field.
It's also great that Brewster Kahle and the Internet Archive invested their time, energy and resources, and took some risks, to stand up for someone else and for all of us.

Thanks to everyone involved. If the U.S. (or any country) is going to be the land of the free, it will only be when each citizen makes it that way.
I only mentioned being paid less because most companies (I assume) want their workers sitting for 8 hours - working or not.

At my current place I feel that (and I've been told) as long as you work you're able to work where/when/how ever you want. I ~do~ feel bad if I leave the office earlier than 5pm most days. Realistically myself and many others don't work the full 8 hours there's breaks of talking, bathroom, stretching, etc.

I've never been asked to work overtime, but if I have to get something done (hasn't happened yet) I'll work on it from my couch at home if it's not a huge deal.

I would be fine with working from the office a few days a week and working from home the other days of the week for only 6 hours a day, or maybe even less depending how I feel for the day. When I mention this to people outside of our industry they scoff and essentially say "well you get paid to work so work". While I understand I need to work to make a living it's inefficient most of the time. I'm not trying to be lazy it just hardly works out in anyone's best interest. I doubt I could bring this up to my current employer or future employer, and they would be OK with be working less hours per day for the same amount of pay.
Balgair was responding to me. I'm a pathologist with an undergrad in physics. Balgair's assumptions are well founded.
