Yep, that's the GLIBC issue I mentioned. Easiest way to fix this is to upgraded to latest LTS
I dealt with this. It's absurd. So many smart coding conventions are completely broken by this absurd convention.

Don't use Dynamo unless you for some reason have to. It's half assed and not getting many updates.
Chris, this is another thing you do. I tried to word my questions carefully, so as not to dismissively score points off you on this buried thread nobody is paying attention to you. It was you that personalized this, with your "where did that person go" rhetoric.

You asked a question --- orthogonal to my questions, which you really still haven't answered --- and then feigned offense when I answered it. If you didn't want to talk about "emotions", well, neither did I. Why'd you bring them up?

Here is another way to read the questions I asked: "perhaps the answers to these questions explain why a normal reader might snag on the way you worded your previous comment and have to ask themselves whether they were taking race-troll bait". Not: "Chris should make different points", but rather, "here are some tools Chris might think about using to avoid giving the impression that he's race-trolling."

So again, I'd ask:

* Why go through extra effort to find a data point less favorable to black people than the one the document already presents?

* If the point is that there are public policy debates to be had about fairness versus demographic blinding, why pick on black people in the first place? A comparison between Asians and whites makes the same point, without requiring you to ever write the words "deadbeat blacks".
I've heard many things on Microconf from Mike and Rob on Startups for the Rest of Us. The problem is paying for a ticket as well as airfare to get there. Due to family financial responsibilities my company operates its own accounts and can only spend what it takes in. I'm currently down to a couple hundred dollars and I have monthly expenses that take cuts out of that. Any sort of conference is out of the question.

I am curious, though, what was it about the conference that made it helpful for you?
Hah, I thought it was only me. I can never connect to slack call if I'm connected via VPN. I have to drop the VPN connection first.

Sanderson is probably the only writer I would bank on these days. The man is clearly the most productive writer active in his genre. Mark Lawrence is pretty good too (and I recommend his Broken Empire trilogy!).
If someone is only described as having popularized an idea, that usually means they didn't invent it.
Does Slack have a phone bridge for voice calls? Would be helpful for participants who can't use Slack.

None of them! The ASCII file might be legible, but then it turns out that you don't have the correct build environment or all the dependencies, so the code isn't useful to you as-is.
Upthread I see arguments for why there won't be many fewer cars, because everyone still needs to get to/from work and they do that at roughly the same time. Ride-sharing is what helps. Parking outside of the city has nothing to with demand for cars.
I don't really understand why there is so much energy being spent trying to spin this into Russia subverting our Democracy. Corporate and government espionage happens. In this case, the results of these 'hacks' has been release of confidential emails and documents. If the contents of these dumps were completely mundane, I do not think it would have been a big deal at all. It's sort of like saying 'information subverted our Democracy'.
While not ideal, you can create a new AttributeTransform that sets a place holder when storing into DynamoDB and removes it when pulling out of DynamoDB as part of your DynamoDBMapper instantiation.

I did this to convert some String Sets (SS) in my database to String Lists (L). I almost did this same thing to fix the empty String issue but didn't have the time to implement it yet.

Yeah, except wired headphones also have the same "silent failure mode", and they won't roll away.
No, I'm not. Most of the time I spend writing code, not checking documentation, or APIs. I've been a programmer for 27 years.
Oh, how reassuring. They'll commit to principle when it helps them thumb their nose at the other political team, but privacy is still out them window when it conflicts with business goals, right?
DynamoDB being part of the AWS ecosystem is a massive benefit.

Slack's audio quality is on par with GoToMeeting, I think.

Of all the different solutions I've visited (Google Hangouts, Skype, Slack, Zoom, Join.me etc.), G2M has been the most reliable and best-sounding one that I've found. It's got things like native Mac app, screen sharing (just one presenter, unfortunately), audio/video recording, telephone dial-in, calendar scheduling, and persistence (i.e. you can reuse the same meeting every day). It uses little bandwidth and behaves really well on a low-bandwidth connection. And unlike GH, we've never experienced any issues connecting or staying connected.

The only thing I miss is the ability for it to pipe back a little bit of my own audio, the way I believe phones do, so that you can talk while wearing earbuds or a closed headset. (Without this, you won't hear your own voice, which I find too unnerving.)
Your list formatting didn't quite work.
Yeah, right?! I had the exact same thought when I saw this. Okay, video... that's cool. But, we've been waiting for the ScreenHero purchase to turn into Slack screen sharing for ages.

Being attached with wires means they catch on something and are violently ripped from my ear at least a couple times a week.

Aha. I thought it sounded like an advertisement.
For me it comes down to a few things. Bluetooth has some major downsides: First, you now have to charge your headphones or you can't use them. This is a HUGE downside when coming from something that literally never needs to be charged, I mean considering nothing else, would you rather have something that needs to be charged daily or something that never needs to be charged? Second, transmitting audio over bluetooth requires digital compression, which affects sound quality. For some this might not matter, but when I listen to music on headphones I want the highest level of quality. This is probably less of an issue for anyone considering airpods, as apple's headphones, even the wired ones, have never been great. Now the classic response to these points is "But just charge them at night, I never have to worry about it!" or "I can't even tell the difference in quality!" and these things may be true, however for me, if I'm sacrificing sound quality (even if it's minimal) and sacrificing unlimited "battery life" (in quotes because there is no battery life for wired headphones but you get the point) I better be getting something well worth it in return. In this case, that something is what, not having to plug my headphones in? Not having a wire connecting me to wherever the sound is coming from that literally never gets in my way except MAYBE very occasionally when working out? I'm sorry but that is absolutely nowhere NEAR worth the tradeoffs. It's not that I'm against bluetooth headphones, it's that the benefits do not outweigh the costs. How many times have you really found yourself genuinely bothered by wires on your headphones? I know for me the answer is almost never (realistically only when working out, which is the only situation where I'd even consider wireless headphones)
The unstated premises of your one sentence rhetorical is that spam, trolling and elevated emotions do not degrade discourse. This is erroneous.

I (if my personal case matters) was hoping to observe a conversation among well informed persons on a topic that I could learn from. Out of intellectual curiosity, the only reason I dawdle on this site.

The instant the topic become controversial, that hope disappeared. Thus I expressed my displeasure at that.

And instead I am now having a conversation about conversations with a single person in the least efficient way possible. QED the conversation has been damaged.

For me they'd save a lot of face if they just opened up their APIs/store to other headsets. They tried to pin down the PC VR HMD market and failed due to Valve/HTC. But they're still trying to become the Steam of VR despite Steam doing the same and having the distinct advantage of already being the Steam of everything else. But there's definitely room for other storefronts out there like GOG and EA's Origin so I don't begrudge them wanting to take that 30% for themselves but let me use whatever HMD I want.
Cool, at minimum this means more stuff to QA. Keep in mind when doing estimates and making project plans. Adding a few more "screens" to the list... I like fast pages, but I don't love the fact that Apple and Facebook want to build a proprietary view that only their users can see.
But so what? Full autonomy needn't even be a business goal of Waymo. They just want full deployment. Having a system in place which reduces or eliminates many/most of the accident root causes would be worthwhile to install on any vehicle on the road even if it technically had a human driver.

The "goal", such as it is, is to have a technology worth using. It's not to transcribe whichever comic book utopia someone has in mind.

I tried using DynamoDB. It felt really unintuitive and like I had to bend my thought process to fit it.

I misconfigured some parameters and ended up with a big bill for a database that was doing pretty much nothing.

I don't see the upside of DynamoDB.

Not without seriously increasing the costs for car rental.

The cost savings for car rental are predicated on increased utilization. Increased utilization is predicated on each car having more people using it on any given day. And these things don't scale infinitely -- each car can only serve a particular locality.

The number of variations that you propose is a fast geometric progression. Kids 0-12 months or so need different car seats from kids 12mo to about 3y need different car seats for older kids. The idea that you could support high utilization on "I want a car that has already installed a carseat for a 1-2year old + a carseat for a 5 year old plus a bike rack" is nuts.

(Regardless, also, parents carry a mountain of stuff that's THEIRS. The heck with a car seat, I need board books, toys, snacks, and wipes in the car.)
It would be cool to see the total number of articles published by each site as well, to see which site has the most stable good content. Shotgun or rifle.
Ridesharing currently requires human drivers which limits them to where the drivers want to be and limits them to how many drivers are in your area.

When human drivers are not required you have neither of these problems. It will be significantly easier for ridesharing companies to provide availability in non-dense areas.

Hell, they'll be able to control where these vehicles go by algorithm, so it will simply be a matter of adding more vehicles to their fleet and the algorithm will take care of minimizing response time for everyone.
Er, the same as the advantages of running any web application on k8s. Django web applications themselves are well suited for stateless hosts. You don't need any persistence where the Django app runs, you push your DB persistence off to another host (or container backed by a persistent volume).
It's more like you bought a coffee table and you get coffee beans in the recommendations. Also, you buddy who you are in the same group with gets a coffee table recommendation.

Why in the world I would possibly want to have 10 different variables, all of them explicitly reinitialised to zero, if I can just write "a = new int[10]" ?
(And it is so compact that it doesn't even deserve the indentation to make it verbatim)
And if the variables are completely independent then much, much better to use some unit of measure or different objects type or something in the same league to avoid mixing them up and killing your software in the worst possible moment.

inter-state.

Ie. you're gonna have to get new laws in place allowing empty vehicles in not just one, but many states.

Current driverless carpool plans might well only allow use when someone is in the vehicle, and they will likley only operate in a single state. The people-transport industry is also worth more than the goods transport industry.
Not being able to serialize an empty string is abysmally poor design.
I think you're basically agreeing with the parent. Like Zipcar and Uber, autonomous vehicle technology when it's eventually available will almost certainly be one more incremental step toward enabling reduced personal car ownership in edge cases.

Probably. Everybody these days seems to just implement a random handful of markdown tags and call it good. It is really frustrating trying to remember the different syntaxes used on every website and what features they support.

DynamoDB-Local is a service that implements DynamoDB's API, including its query language, datatypes, and grammar, but stores everything in SQLite. It's great for playing with the API or substituting a mock implementation that doesn't drain your wallet, but it's very unlikely have the backend implementation and the performance characteristics -- or even all of the exact bugs -- of "real" DynamoDB.
It's less about the process of pairing being painful and more about the amount of time it takes to pair. I also use a plantronics headset sometimes and it usually takes somewhere from like 15-60 seconds to actually pair up and have audio coming through.

>"To be fair" if I can observe at most a 10-15% difference on my primary CPU+IO bottleneck with power consumption on then I do not care much about the specifics of the underlying hardware.

To be fair, others dont have the same workflows, and see far greater than 10-15% CPU+IO improvements.

It's way different to be on a train car with a bunch of strangers than it is to be in close quarters with one or two strangers. There's a reason that a cliche way to meet someone like an online date is in a public location and not, say, a car.
Noon full-disk virus scan even once a week is a great way to alienate your user base. If your enterprise AV doesn't support "start at a scheduled time or if sleeping/off start upon next wake/power on" then you need a new enterprise AV suite. If not that at least temporary deferment.
Uber removed the "only when open" ability unfortunately, so that would not be relevant here.
On their webpage, waymo breaks down that 30k into smaller pieces. 94% of those deaths were due to human choice or human error. At least 71% were due to speeding, alcohol, distraction, and drowsiness. It's probably safe to say that driving like those 94% during your DMV driving test would mean a human wouldn't even get licensed. Why lower the bar to just being better than them? I want my autonomous car to be better than a good human driver.

The trouble with just throwing the statistics around and saying "it's fewer deaths!" is that it has to be fewer deaths in comparable situations. A tesla having fewer deaths per mile in perfect driving conditions shouldn't be compared to a possibly-drunk person in possibly-awful weather. This isn't the media creating controversy, it's people expressing skepticism when a corporation's incentives are to let a couple people die, and trying to maintain a high bar.
I get the feeling we're going to see lighting on apples mobile devices for a very very long time yet.
There's certainly a lot of overlap with the general gacha concept, but I think at least in the case of Magic the very robust secondary market leads to very different dynamics than kompu gacha systems.

For me, at least, back when I played Magic, I never ever opened a pack in the hope of getting a card; what I would do is open a pack in the hopes of getting stuff to trade for the card.

In addition, the distribution of value from a pack of Magic cards was pretty even. If you opened 3-4 packs, you would be very unlikely to get the rare card you wanted, but you'd be quite likely to get cards you could trade. There's also published data on rarity and distributions.

Ultimately, I think the kompu gacha systems work by exploiting the sunk cost fallacy. You've already spent $X on prizes, but it's worthless because you don't have the one ultra-rare one you need. But if you spend another $Y, you have a chance of making the earlier investment valuable.

With Magic, typically, after you spend $X on cards you have less than $X worth of cards, but not a lot less. If you don't get the one ultra-rare one, you still have, worst case, a bunch of junk rares and some decent uncommons you could trade or, worst case, sell to a dealer. And, crucially, the previous investment doesn't become more valuable if you finally do get the ultra-rare.

...that being said, a huge, huge part of the money the companies behind them earn is because of the random nature of the packs. So...I guess I'd grade it as mildly exploitive, perhaps, but only mildly. :)
How are costs divided between fuel, driver, vehicle capital?

I'm not sure the driver is the most expensive part...

Ask HN: What is this API style called?
So we all recognise a RESTful(-ish) API when we see it. Although by far the most popular, that is not the only type of API out there though. See for example this item https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13164138 about something called GraphQL.

I am in the process of documenting an API of mine[1]. It is REST, but in fact the entire REST interface could be replaced with a single endpoint, which in fact allows the user to do a lot more than the REST API alone.

The single endpoint simply takes a program, runs it on the server, and returns the results if any. Although not supported in my implementation, the program can have side effects (creating, modifying, deleting server-side data).

You can see a description of the API in question here: https://wxt.navlost.eu/doc/api/v1/#NRPL-expressions

Scroll down for examples, or follow the links for a description of the language that I used (NRPL, my take on RPL), if interested.

Although implemented as an endpoint in a REST API, the whole interface could be just this one endpoint (GET or POST/PUT).

I am sure this kind of interface already has a name but can't think what it's called, and searching the web has not helped so far. Any pointers anyone?

>Nobody but their internal design team appears to care that the box is getting any thinner than it is already.

Nobody? Besides the great sales whenever they put out lighter models (the Air, which was booed for not having high cpu, enough connections, etc, Macbook, the same, etc), how's that for "somebody":

"I’m have to admit being a bit baffled by how nobody else seems to have done what Apple did with the Macbook Air – even several years after the first release, the other notebook vendors continue to push those ugly and clunky things. Yes, there are vendors that have tried to emulate it, but usually pretty badly. I don’t think I’m unusual in preferring my laptop to be thin and light. (...) I’m personally just hoping that I’m ahead of the curve in my strict requirement for “small and silent”. It’s not just laptops, btw – Intel sometimes gives me pre-release hardware, and the people inside Intel I work with have learnt that being whisper-quiet is one of my primary requirements for desktops too. I am sometimes surprised at what leaf-blowers some people seem to put up with under their desks. (...) I want my office to be quiet. The loudest thing in the room – by far – should be the occasional purring of the cat. And when I travel, I want to travel light. A notebook that weighs more than a kilo is simply not a good thing (yeah, I’m using the smaller 11″ macbook air, and I think weight could still be improved on, but at least it’s very close to the magical 1kg limit)"
