Oh man, finally a chance to plug the book "Do No Harm: Stories of Life, Death, and Brain Surgery" by Henry Marsh.

Marsh chronicles his career, and includes (at least) one story about the slip of the scalpel and the... result.

Highly recommended.
Openshift uses a very small subset of Docker. That subset is now available standalone as containerd, in part to allow Openshift to no longer depend on what is essentially a competing platform. I expect lits of constructive open-source collaboration with Red Hat on containerd.
Non-hierarchical (or rather non-explicit) models are even more open to corruption.
Some (many?) apps do that, preventing you from typing while it detects that you are moving, unless you declare that you are a passenger. I can easily think of some app that won't let you receive notifications while driving.
Yeah, even evolution is evolving. We like to think of ourselves as highly evolved, but honestly, we're still extremely primitive compared to what life could be given another two or three billion years to play out.
"In terms of programming-in-the-large, at Google and elsewhere, I think that language choice is not as important as all the other choices: if you have the right overall architecture, the right team of programmers, the right development process that allows for rapid development with continuous improvement, then many languages will work for you; if you don't have those things you're in trouble regardless of your language choice."

I can't find the article anymore, but around 2003 or 2004 there was an article on the NYT about law enforcement using OnStar to spy on what people are talking about in the car (on the phone, etc).
> In practice, annotations define runtime global variables that other frameworks can make use of by doing expensive classpath scanning on startup to rewrite bytecode at runtime.

Dagger2 is DI a compile time annotation library. Yes there needs to be a lot more libraries like this.

I totally understand some of your hate for annotations (I have my own with Spring Boot).

Despite my tone from the previous comment I think there should be a lot more plain old programmatic configuration (ie just load up objects and setup some properties during the bootstrap).

I had aspirations of making a howto guide using Dagger2 and various other compile time / code generation libraries (like jOOQ and MapStruct) as I too absolutely hate the classpath scanning hell that is Spring these days.

I can't deny though that some people find the "magic" more productive particularly for ramp up time.

All in all I violently agree with you more than you think (hence why I'm looking forward to your post).

I still don't know what a dynamic language is and neither does Wikipedia for that matter [1]. Its pretty nebulous. Its like saying strongly typed.

Running on rented hardware is the equivalent of a traditional product company renting all of their factories. Almost any company of reasonable size will want vertical integration of their supply chain and web companies are no different.

Using Netflix as an example again, if they're pitted against a company that runs their own hardware but is otherwise equal, they will lose. A portion of their profit is siphoned off as Amazon's profit. What's already happened is Netflix is directly funding development of Amazon Prime Video.
CR2 holds the address that the access was attempted on that faulted. So for example, if you attempt to access 0x23456789 and that faults because there is no page, CR2 contains that 0x23456789. But that might not be an "invalid" address - the OS may simply not have mapped the page in yet (Which is what happens with dynamic paging). So the OS checks the CR2, and if it is valid address the OS maps the correct page in and then returns back to the code that the program attempted to execute (Which now works).
To be fair, you didn't take into account the difference that $1B was worth between those times. Not just inflation, but the economic situation in 2008 as well.
Notice that the attack I described does not require actually merging in the patch, it only requires that news stories be written about how there might be such a vulnerability.
I think the hoops you have to jump through should scale with severity. Then if you find yourself writing scripts that screen-scrape interactive output to get around some safeguards, you're doing something very wrong.
Amazing. These types of changes are a step in the right for direction for Mozilla. I abandoned Firefox long ago for Chrome but now with containers, e10s, and Electrolysis I'm planning on moving back.
GCC is a useful benchmark not because it is unoptimized, but because it represents a real-world work profile that is otherwise poorly represented in SPEC. The working set sizes are large relative to the cache size, and its composed of a bunch of pointer-chasing branch-heavy logic as it winds through the various trees and intermediate languages. That profile is quite a bit closer to the profile of common business and server applications than nearly all of the other members in SPEC.
I imagine it would be similar to Youtube's model.

The NASDAQ is over 5,000 now, but it was 5,000 17 years ago in the year 2000. Think about what has changed between now and then. Google barely existed, Facebook didn't exist, Amazon was an online bookstore. Apple was struggling and the iPhone and iPod did not exist. Now these are the largest companies in the world. We got people working on self driving cars and going to Mars. These companies are making real money now. If anything, stocks should be higher.

No really. You'd prefer to use that silicon area to increase your perf. If you want a CPU-GPU combo wait for the laptop/mobile part of Zen codename RavenRidge.
Replying to myself: The fact that someone builds tooling on top of your offering is not an indictment of your product. It simply means people are using it.

Thanks. Still want to see someone actually get ECC to show up as enabled on something like the Asus Crosshair Hero board, which is what I've pre-ordered. I just grabbed a 16GBx2 kit of G.Skill 3200 but it would be great to get ECC for this quantity.
Number of lawyers must have drafted those lines and 5 people including Bezos must have approved those lines.

Those lines are not reflective of what Amazon is but what picture Amazon wants to paint now. They have clarified it is their error and not some hacking attempt. Secondly they have not vilified the engineer in question because already Amazon's culture is a bit of a ??? in public mind.

But they have got it right. Shit happens and this is not the first time it has happened or the last time it will happen. Also it will happen with Microsoft, Google and everyone else.

May be we will build even better technologies that will rely on two different cloud providers instead of 1.

Nice, now I'm wondering why Intel doesn't slap 128MB EDRAM on an Kaby Lake i7 4 core 8 thread and then release it for the enthusiast platform x99. Maybe even select chips to make it possible to release them at 5ghz. Of course with a large premium (expensive EDRAM etc.).

I'm sorry, but your comments in this thread are incredibly out of touch.

It's absolutely hard to run your own hardware. There's a reason that companies which run their own hardware have entire teams devoted to it.

You seem to be thinking like an engineer, not a business person. For most businesses, cloud providers offer a substantial cost savings.
As a professional that came from software engineering let me tell you... that plugging in one machine is easy.

Plugging in 150 machines is significantly more challenging. Providing disaster response, backups, stable power, and VLANs to secure services, quickly ratchets up the cost. And nobody wants to pay one engineer per machine to babysit one machine, x 150. That wouldn't even be a good idea, because engineers get bored and start mucking with stuff that needs to be left alone.

Data center administration is a first class professional grouping. Software engineers who don't know that are a real hazard to any business.
EFS is pretty great. But for our use case there are a few drawbacks:

1. It doesn't scale to the size we need for all repositories, so we still need sharding.

2. It is expensive, $300/TB-month

3. You're still sending all traffic over the network, we prefer the latency of local storage we can achieve by developing Gitaly https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitaly
You're comparing a home desktop (or a single data center) to a battle tested globally accessible infrastructure. With experts running it.

Yes that's a loaded statement but so is comparing "the cloud" to "a desktop".
Makes me wonder if Spiegel will bite the bullet and open up a SV office, like Tinder has.
No you misunderstand. When they said "no major revelations of political support," they meant "no revelations of political support that I disagree with."
Out of interest, is everyone using Spark/Hadoop/etc because you need to and/or you chose to or another reason? IMO, legit use cases seem to me relatively sparse.
many thanks! btw, I'm not sure if you're still based in Vienna, but I'm from here :)
This is why it's important to clarify what "Docker" means in context. Kube and OpenShift DO use Docker (the lower-level infrastructure parts of it, but not the higher-level platformy parts of it).

That represents the evolution of the containerd-vs-docker split, and (to me) seems totally rational.
Google+Assistant+for+all+starting+today+-+These+are+the+conditions
Here's a short list of things I would like to study or do if I only had the time, in no particular order:

Piano, saxophone, geology, astronomy, japanese, game development on old consoles, hiking, weight training, personal site redesign, writing novels, writing stories, designing board and card games, mobile app development, virtual reality development, drawing, composing music, game production and publishing, cooking, etc.

It should be noted that for all of these things listed there was at least a small period of my life where I spent a good chunk of time doing them.

Instead right now I seem to only have the time, energy, and motivation for board game design (and recording it in a diary), keeping my puppy active and happy (walks, fetch), playing some games, fixing a bug or adding a small feature or two in a mobile app once a week, and writing one short story for an anthology once a year.

And I only work 40 hours a week. When I worked 60+ I didn't have energy to do anything but eat dinner and sleep.
This is true in some cases, but not when mitigations aren't practiced properly - it's not the fat fingered user who should be fired or retrained, but the designer or maintainer of the system that allowed it to become a serious issue.

Look at the recent GitLab incident - one guy messed up and nuked a server. Okay, that happens sometimes, go to backups. Uh oh, all the backups are broken. Minor momentary problem just turned into a major multi-day one.

That's a problem and one which could be preventable with training (or, arguably, firing and hiring). Maintaining your backups properly should be someone's duty, designing and testing systems to minimize impact of user error should be too.
It's curious they needed to "remove capacity" to cure a slow billing problem.

Is that code for a "did you try to reboot the system?" kind of troubleshooting?

It sounds to me like the authorized engineer sent a command to reboot/reimage a large swath of the S3 infrastructure.
Ask HN: How real is the risk of a liquid cooler leaking?
I'm considering getting a liquid cooling system, but am very worried about the potential of it leaking and destroying my hardware and my data.

How worried should I be, realistically?
> Nevertheless I would have loved to be conscripted into the army. A 2 year (paid) break from studies and/or work. A time to get super fit, learn new skills, make new friends. And the best part of it, is that no one can give you shit for it because it's expected of everyone.

I am a former conscript. We were paid approximately $350 USD a month and rarely had time for personal improvement. The way I see it: many of us lost two years of earning potential, and entered the workforce two years later than our peers.
How to Blog Anonymously – Step by Step Guide
If Amazon were a guy, he'd be a standup guy. This is a very detailed and responsible explanation. S3 has revolutionized my businesses and I love that service to no end. These problems happen very rarely but I may have backups just in case using nginx proxy approach at some point and because S3 is so good, everyone seems to adopt their API so its just a matter of a switch statement. Werner can sweat less. Props.

I would add, it would be awesome if there was a simulation environment, beyond just a test environment that simulated servers outside requesting in, before a command was allowed to run onto production, like a robot deciding this, then could mitigate this, kind of like TDD on steriods if they don't have that already.
How is this different from Profiles?
> There are computable approximations, but at that point, you lose the claim of theoretically optimal.

True, but I'm surprised more work isn't being done on "searching the space of programs that produce the data". There's very little research on this topic other than a few papers on minimum description length (MDL). I feel that this is probably the eventual route to AGI. We know what the "optimal" predictor is in theory; now work out the best time/memory approximation to it for practical purposes.
Because human error isn't foreseeable? Or a disgruntled employee?
If big cloud companies would host their status pages on each other's servers, that would be... actually pretty cool.
Maybe you could focus on more tech related to battle ie drones. In the same way that machine guns make an enemy army's size not really matter, drones will do the same thing if they just have manpower
>Almost any company of reasonable size will want vertical integration of their supply chain

Meanwhile, the most successful hardware vendors are all farming production out to third party manufacturers...
>> It simply means that instead of reallocating worker time to different production, people's time is reallocated to consumption.

Well, people out of work can't really allocate their time to consumption. This is the basis for an argument that we need a shorter work week and a need to enforce it (high Europe, screw you US tech industry). When we are efficient enough to provide everything people want to consume in their 24 hour day and have leftover people without work, we need to make them work less so it will require more people to do all the work. I think there are limits to that as well.

These problem all lie on a path to a possible utopia where the machines take care of the people and we're free to do whatever we want. I'm not sure how you get there from here or what that would even look like.
The point isn't that they didn't learn to do laundry. Fixing it by offering a laundry course is just putting black tape over a warning light. They didn't have the environment growing up that made being an upright citizen easy or particularly likely. You can't teach a course about "responsibility" and expect good things.
Would you mind elaborating on that?
A few years ago we had a french student (ENA) placement for a year and he had sorted out his national service with the force de frappe.
that's just a public statement. how do you whether the individual was reprimanded
Not necessarily.

Conventional economic theories fail to make a useful practical distinction between value creation and resource/wealth enclosure and monopolisation. (This is deliberate - you need to know about Henry George to understand why.)

An updated scientific economics would highlight that distinction instead of attempting to obfuscate it.

I suspect it's harder to be corrupt if you're generating real social value, and relatively easy to be corrupt when you're simply appropriating value tokens.
