If you are very clear about not retaining references to things you ship to another actor, Erlang is marvelously concurrent without any of the usual considerations for shared memory or functional programming we have to make. You can confidently manipulate and mutate variables in your actor scope because your actor is single threaded and OTP makes async-with-response calls trivial to mix in with this when you want function semantics.

Actor based systems give you a place to put sequential mutation code and a clear, clean, scalable way to define parallel operations. Channels really... well they give you this blunt force instrument to export data but you end up implementing actor-like management every time they're invoked if you're doing any sort of fan-out anyways.

Yeah something like that worked in win7, but now... Win key -> zero response to any text and if I click the text entry box it disappears. Maybe I should turn Cortana off completely, but right now I'm looking into switching to 100% Linux. It's just easier.

Glad to hear GKE's working well for you -- thanks hosh and whalesalad!

We do invest a lot in making Google Container Engine a great experience, including integrating it with other parts of GCP (e.g., IAM [1]), but at the same time, the core is plain vanilla Kubernetes.

Snap’s been a happy and public customer for some time, so any “free marketing blitz” would a) have essentially been used up before, and b) would truly have to be remarkable to work against some form of discount where the non-discounted remainder /still/ represents $2,000,000,000 over four years.
That's not really my read at all. As someone in a similar boat, it's really inspiring to see that this place is both a great watercooler and a great equalizer. While some might lack the behind-the-scenes scoop or the battle-hardened wisdom of years of subject matter expertise, their words and ideas stand on their merits and share the company of greats. And in turn, one day, they might become the provider of unexpected insight.

And all the while, there are parallel discussions going on where the same people converse and debate about more mundane topics. I find this really refreshing, because it's a reminder that we're more than the sum of our professional accomplishments. We're people from all walks of life -- from students to executives, amateurs to experts, laypeople to decision-makers -- congregating around a shared interest, in ways it rarely happens face-to-face today, and this is what makes HN thrive.
True, but what's the opportunity cost of transitioning to bare metal? Is it worth slowing down development / feature releases / possible service outages? In the time it takes to transition, is it possible that cloud actually becomes cheaper than running your own infrastructure?

BTW, the old linux client (dating back to 2014) still exists and can be downloaded from the official site. It only supports text messages and files, and the messages don't show up in other clients for some reason as if they are not stored in the server side log. Can't explain that one.
Isn't that plausibly the result of publish or perish? I would imagine it would lead to people publish at the cadence of their typing rate (to be cruel), not at the rate which they can generate good ideas.

A "random person"?

How about a HN reader who is taking part in a discussion? They offered their view and why they believe that. Nowhere did they they claim "authority." Unlike your snide commentary they are actually contributing to the conversation.

Data Structure MCQ Questions – InfoTechSite
That's the point I'm trying to make. Snap has, say, 100 employees + $2b. The 100 employees are working on features. The $2b can now go to Google, or to purchase "focus" for in-house infrastructure, there is no slow down in developing features. Now if they can't technologically duplicate what they need using $2b is a different story which I have no opinion on.

Eh. 8.1 works fine for me. I get the performance improvements over 7, but I also get to control when to apply updates. The start screen was an eyesore at first, but I actually kind of like it now. The Windows 10 "start menu" is much worse, because it's exactly the same as the start screen but way smaller

I have to use 10 at work because I'm working on a driver that I need Windows 8 or newer to write it and the only HDD with anything like that on it had 10, and I absolutely hate that once in a while I come in to work and the OS will have decided at some point during the night that updating itself was more important than whatever it was I had running.

Well tube amps do actually need to warm up, but people think it takes minutes to hours for them to warm up when it really takes like 2 to 5 seconds. That, I think, comes from a lack of knowledge about how tubes work and the general cargo cult surrounding sound electronics.

Math is different. Even complete outsiders of mortal cognitive gifts can now and again generate publishable results.( I tried to find the reference but my google-fu fails me now - I do have actual published papers in mind.)

In physics these laymen are generally called 'crackpots' for a good reason because the context one needs to understand to generate new results is so huge.

Mathematics is different - all one needs is pen, paper, a mind that's attuned to generating logically whole statements and a problem that just won't let go of ones mind. The results are likely in geometry or some other approachable field and not in some more obscure subject.
In the build-vs.-buy decision analysis: I always considered they'd explore buying UPS since they have a 4x market cap. Why build from scratch when you can acquihire a logistics company with lots of experience and global reach? Sure there's always merging pains of integration, but it seems faster than just rediscovering hundreds of years of operational experience (and yes idiosyncrasies / bad habits / inefficiencies too).

Edit: Amazon may not have enough cash to buy UPS, and would rather build what it needs, when it needs it.
Pretty sure HN readers work at these companies...

I don't really know much about playing MIDIs on a Mac, unfortunately, as I'm a PC person. The only options I know of are paid; for example, GarageBand (https://www.apple.com/mac/garageband/) can open and play MIDIs. I also know there's a player called Sweet MIDI Player, but it seems very expensive.

There's a possibility you might be able to find TiMidity++ using brew.sh or similar. If you find it, you could try that - it's a command-line program, though. You'll also need a GM SoundFont to use it - you can find a list at http://www.synthfont.com/links_to_soundfonts.html . Note that the page links both to GM SoundFonts and single-instrument SoundFonts - you want a GM (General MIDI) one if possible, as that will have all the instruments included in General MIDI.

I've been looking for some good MIDI players for Mac myself as I know other people who are looking for them. I'll let you know if I come up with anything!
It doesn't take "top talent" to run the physical side of the DC. It takes processes and detail-oriented people who care.

> I submit that there is no work in the US that can't be done by a US citizen.

In another thread to this article I gave an example of a teacher for a German school -- native speaker, experienced in teaching the German state curriculum. A few such people have moved here and indeed we hired them, but mostly they had to come in on H-1.

There are certainly medical specialties for which there is a shortage of available doctors or nurses, in particular outside the cities.

And you really believe that there is a US citizen expert in every possible discipline in every possible location?

> The problem isn't "finding someone" the problem is "finding someone at the below-market-rate wage we want to pay"

In the very comment to which you were replying I just said we pay more for H-1 workers, in both time and money (and salary -- the labor conditions verification makes sure that's the case. Why do you assume they come in at below market wages? Have you ever hired one? In my experience it's impossible to do, at least for a startup.
That random person is right. One can run a DC at scale of 50 racks at least 20% cheaper than GCP. That's $80M a year to hire 20 smart people at $2M a year and 200 reasonably smart people at $200k per year. Snap will vanish like their pictures.

It's funny because when I read the sentence "the 1:1 is primarily for them" i didn't realize you were a manager. To the me the 1:1 is primarily for the manager. I need my manager to talk about their perception of how the work, more specifically my work, is going.

That depends a bit on whether you're more characteristically interested in rhetorical dominance and being "in it to win it", or are just asking questions and intent on knowing what you don't know. For the former group HN is a very challenging environment, for the latter it can be helpful.

(As it is, I rarely pay any attention to my reply inbox on here because I do get emotionally charged by seeing those, even if they're positive. If I'm interested in a reply I go back to the thread later in the day instead. Reddit stops me from behaving in the same way because of that darn red envelope.)
That doesn't mean anything, though. "Some people who do X also do Y" does not imply that "people who do Y are qualified to comment on X."

For example: Elon Musk is a Twitter user. I too am a Twitter user. So's Kylie Jenner, Donald Trump, and random spambots. Using the same service does not mean they're equally qualified to speak with authority about the same things.
It's different for each of my reports, and it's different when I have my 1:1 with my manager as well.

My manager and I usually talk about high level strategy - he does more talking, letting me know about direction decisions that have been made or things I have to plan for.

One of my reports likes to go into a technical deep dive and get advice on whatever he happens to be working on. These usually run a bit long (a couple hours) so I have them scheduled such that it isn't a problem.

Another coworker just gives status updates, lets me know general status, points out any new issues or changes in existing challenges that I may not be aware of. I keep on top of what's going on so they're pretty short.

Another report likes to chat about the industry, what's going on, random stuff from within the company. This 1:1 is more like a little break for both of us. Sometimes we just skip if either of us is busy or there's nothing to talk about.

No two are the same, but I always try to cover two minimum things: 1) Pass down any new information that is relevant to what they're doing, and 2) Ask if there's anything they're blocked on that I can help with.

It doesn't take much time to learn to hand solder SMD. We teach 200 students to do it every semester at UIUC in the EE senior design lab. Our rule of thumb is that if it has pins that are not flush to the bottom of the package you can solder it with an iron. All but the smallest parts can be done with a cheap Weller.

I soldered one project with paste, a toothpick to apply it, and an unmodified hot plate controlled by hand. No stencil needed.

That is true. Also I think Homebrew/apt-get are so easy to use nowadays, that getting tools is very easy. And in 99% it mostly works.
To me that sounds like a good thing - I don't like it when drivers need to "inject" themselves into OS level settings.
Snap shouldn't fit the model of legacy IT. To some degree, myspace did and that's part of why they failed.
I'm not sure how you can make those claims; if anything, they've been even more active in reviewing hardware, etc. since they actually have better corporate sponsorship.

The only thing I do miss are the articles written by Jon Stokes: https://arstechnica.com/author/hannibal/

But all things change, and the heady era of technological advances that we saw in the 90s and early 2000s are long gone, at least in the desktop and server computer world.

Electronics has now become mainstream-consumer oriented and the sites reflect that interest, since after all, they only exist due to advertising funds.

> Cerberus is a human-survivalist paramilitary group led by the enigmatic Illusive Man. Cerberus' core belief is that humans deserve a greater role in the galactic community, and that the Systems Alliance is too hamstrung by law and public opinion to stand up effectively to the other Citadel races. Cerberus supports the principle that any methods of advancing humanity's ascension are entirely justified, including illegal or dangerous experimentation, terrorist activities, sabotage and assassination. Cerberus operatives accept that these methods are brutal, but believe history will vindicate them. Nevertheless, both the Systems Alliance and the Citadel Council have declared Cerberus to be a terrorist organization and will prosecute identified Cerberus agents accordingly.

We're a Zambian Band (2014)
I think you're very conservative on that estimate. We run an infrastructure on dedicated leased hardware (Rackspace). Our infrastructure costs are a fraction of what the equivalent public cloud footprint costs. With technologies like Kubernetes and CoreOS, our private cloud practically runs itself. We focus on apps and the developer pipeline, much like we would do if we were on GCP/GKE. We have approximately 60 dedicated servers. We're almost at the scale where it makes sense to leave leased baremetal for colocation. For a company like Snap, it's hard to believe that they couldn't save a few hundred million by building their own footprint in leased datacenter space.

The days of needing massive ops teams to run on owned and colocated hardware are long gone.
