It's always been interesting to me that the paid internet thing only happens at the low end and high end, but rarely ever in between.
But that portion of the power budget hasn't shifted at all back toward the computational units. It's been taken over by register renaming and instruction reordering and all manner of caches.
You gave us the answer already!

You aren't crazy about travel. You're burned out on your job, but NOT on your side projects. You have a nice place in a nice city.

To me it's very clear. Quit. Stay home. Veg out until you feel ready to play at your side projects. Play with your side projects when you feel like it. You have all the makings of an awesome "staycation", if people are still using that word. Like you, I enjoy working on my own stuff and I've made a great living at it. Even if you don't, you're looking at some low bandwidth time off. Feel free to contact me to chat. I've been in your place.
I look forward to seeing this being integrated into every Electron app.
Ask HN: Are there any open-source alternatives to AWS Lambda
Hello!

I recently started playing with AWS Lambda, and the entire thing intrigues me, but due to some legal chicanery at work, I can't use it for anything in production.

This got me thinking, though...Is there any good frameworks/platforms/whatever for running a Function as a Service on your own hardware?

The Sun 386i "Roadrunner" was launched in 1988.

A release of Solaris for PC compatibles began shipping in 1993.

In 2002, Sun introduced its first general purpose x86 system, the LX50.

In 2003, Sun announced a strategic alliance with AMD to produce x86/x64 servers based on AMD's Opteron processor; this was followed shortly by Sun's acquisition of Kealia, a startup founded by original Sun founder Andy Bechtolsheim, which had been focusing on high-performance AMD-based servers. Hardware began shipping in 2004.
Yes, but it doesn't have to be in person, it can be in text. Something like electrician or plumbing probably requires hands on mentoring. Many times, the person who wrote the original code is long gone, so there isn't a mentor.

The original point I was trying to make is you don't have to be "in the office" to learn programming stuff.
Centralized planning == state capitalism. Private capitalism is not the only variety.
I would go with Joyent SDC/Triton, it has a much more mature container and VM platform. It's incredible it's so missed in these comments.
Boycott Target is apparently a huge phenomenon affecting their bottom line (mainly in Southern States) and prompting many customers to switch to Walmart.

it wasn't the ceo's comment, he didn't say this. a pissed off former employee made the comment, and the "news" misreported it. or so they say.
What if I misspell the word "fuck"?
It's not a matter of obviousness, though. The real question is: are they spending their money on creating a real moat that will remain once the money spigot is turned off or not?

Amazon purchased real things. Uber is spending their cash on subsidizing the price. I guess you can make the argument that their moat is also their brand, but I think its very apples to oranges to compare Uber's subsidies with Amazon's infrastructure spend.

I also don't by the "they are not idiots" argument. Remember, there were plenty of "geniuses" at Enron, at Bear Stearns, At Lehman, etc.

I've heard a bit about iron.io, but couldn't tell you anything about them past that.
You're looking at overall density but not actual population centers. Over forty percent of Maine's population is located in the Portland metro area. Over eighty (!) percent of Alaska's population is in the greater Anchorage area. Large and sparsely populated states consolidate more in city centers, not less, which is why it makes so little sense that rural residents have so much more relative worth to their votes.
Nice work. Getting all of these tools in one place, in an easy to use way is not always easy. I'm well aware of what goes on behind the scenes to make something like your alignment there as straightforward to use. The tricky part is what next :)

I'm curious what your plans are - interoperability, private infrastructure, plugins/extensibility for others or just simply nice tools for people to use.

I'd also be curious how you intend to approach the differences and distinctions between protein and DNA sequences. It doesn't look like you currently have much to do with an amino acid sequence. At Serotiny we've chosen to focus on the amino acid sequences for manipulation and leave the DNA in the background. It feels like it's often a trade-off - either/or. It's a challenge to get both into the same working environment without overwhelming the user.

I'd be curious your thoughts on what we've built: https://serotiny.bio

btw - it's nice to see some ShowHNs show up for biological software.
The FB and Messenger ones are different too!? At least the other three are separate accounts, so that's justifiable, but FB and Messenger are the same account, they're even the same website on desktop.
A Venture Capital Company Devoted Entirely to Nonviable Startups
About ten years ago I started down this path myself, it just seemed overwhelming though to recreate all the functionality of the desktop systems like Vector NTI on the web. With today's tools it is likely much better. It does seem as you're alluding to though that a Jupyter like format would work really well. I wonder what the state of the art is today at least on desktop.
At least in the states, my anecdotal observation is that it's being phased out completely. It seems both the rich and poor alike hate paying for the internet :D

Now the scheme has morphed into free "basics" internet vs paid "premium" internet.
It's harder than ever for young researchers to get initial grants.

The pay is seriously lagging industry. In many cases, the resources at your disposal are substantially larger in industry as well.

Meanwhile, universities are increasingly run by administrators. Faculty have more service requirements and less autonomy than in the past. Overhead expenses are higher than ever, as well.

Furthermore! Tenured faculty are hard to fire, or even force into retirement. They draw large resources even after they retire in pensions and emeritus status. So open faculty positions are constantly hard to come by.

Last year I made a move to industry, from a research position at a well regarded program. I multiplied my salary by a nice integer, and I had multiple job offers from fortune 500 tech companies and a few of the HFT hedge funds that users are familiar with on this website. I wouldn't have had a shot at a faculty position at anything that I would have considered a tier-1 research organization.

Don't get me wrong, I loved my time in academia and I was very well treated, relatively speaking. But I was absolutely at a point of diminishing returns where I would have floundered around like so many of my incredibly talented and hard working friends who are still postdocs/non-permanent staff at these institutions.
Not so much "rich people" as "people in countries with a high wealth baseline, where even kids with no jobs have smartphones and data plans for no useful reason."
Why Twitter Is Failing to Grow
redpotion seems to be the way to go, but that project seems to be in maintenance mode.

There are a few other libraries/frameworks from the rubymotion project itself, called motionflow iirc, that seemed like they were the way of the future when I checked out status a few months ago. However they were not finished at the time.
I use Stripe from Japan and it really sucks when it comes to chargebacks. I have won like 2 of 30 cases. I provide customer's ID, shipping labels, tracking info and still lose. I had one friendly fraud case, when a customer was using both Stripe and PayPal. Later the customer opened disputes for every payment made within 3 months. It was like dozens of disputes on both PayPal and Stripe. I have won all on PayPal and lost all on Stripe.
Those two cases I won on Stripe was like the acquiring bank started the chargeback without notifying the client. The client worked with us, the acquiring bank admitted the mistake and still we had to fight to convince Stripe that we won the dispute.
I strongly believe that they just automatically process the chargeback forms and don't give a thing about winning it.
Not to mention that they charge you even if you win a dispute.

"My mother gave birth to 12 children. I arrived in London at the age of nine, speaking practically no English. I attended some of the worst performing schools in inner-city London and was raised exclusively on state benefits. Many years later I was lucky enough to attend Oxford on a full scholarship for my postgraduate degree. Now as a barrister I am a lifetime member of The Honourable Society of Lincoln’s Inn."

This...is....mind-boggling. Instead of being grateful to the host country which has given him so much he finds it necessary to moan that other people of similar circumstance don't have the same chances to succeed in this country as the existing elites?

And then people wonder why the natives are tired of accepting more of the same?

Btw, I'm in a similar situation myself (except that my mother didn't come from a society where people have 12 kids) - came as a penniless immigrant to the West, achieved a fair measure of success. But I happen to be grateful and appreciative instead of whine that a children of illiterate immigrants have worse chances at success than the middle classes.
I think the trick is making it into a habit/addiction.

Plus--everyone is physically different. I'm about forty pounds over weight. At this point, I honestly don't know what fat, and muscle. And don't care.

I briskly walk for 30-45 minutes nightly. I have a route that includes a hill. I do sweat. I figure I'm carrying around a sack of flour, so I don't need to push it too hard.

When I get home, my depression lifts. I drink less. I'm less anxious.

I definetly use that brisk walk as a a drug. If your fat, like myself, you don't need to go all out. Your legs are most likely stronger than skinny people--from carrying around that sack of potatoes.

Oh yea, my dad was an electrician. He definetly got exercise at work. It was only when he retired did he need to do a little bit of exercise. He didn't. He just drank. He died too early.

My laboring point is you don't need to exercise to extremes in order to feel a bit better, lower blood glocose, and lower blood pressure. A moderately fat guy can be healthy.

Doctors just look at you physically, and make generalizations. Kinda--like the rest of the world!
What are the features of AWS that you need? For example, do you really need an enormous amount of elasticity? If not then a single powerful server that people can ssh to might be fine. How long are you waiting for various jobs to finish?
I don't think many modern DLCs are equivalent in scale to old-school expansions. They would generally nearly double the content of the original in a single expanded story. Some modern games collections of DLC (so collect all of the DLC of Skyrim or Witcher 3) would be roughly on-par with an expansion, but even then they tend to be multiple mostly independent pieces of content rather than a large cohesive addition.

In that sense, I think (from what we've heard), BotW's DLC is not really an expansion pack in the old sense.
I mean absolutely no offense by this, but the logo has an uncanny resemblance to DickButt. Maybe change the logo? Or, not, if it's not a problem.

I don't know what I would do if I were in your position and someone pointed this out to me.
Mostly what I want is the ease of "writing a function as a callback and deploy it".

By this logic, worker-owned cooperatives can and should be expected to out-perform traditionally structured businesses. Do I interpret correctly?

If that's true, then why do you think traditionally structured businesses generally out-perform cooperatives? People have tried.
It kind of reads like you have discredited frequency domain compression algorithms. FYI JPEG used a block-based DCT which is very similar to a Fourier transform.
The answer to the question why is quite obvious from where I stand: Farmers get paid more because of the protectionist policy of the government. The distribution system also prioritises local food over imported food. They also spend money on things like being able to trace exactly where the food comes from. When my neighbour takes his rice to the JA, I can buy it at the local supermarket the next day. His name is on the bag.

The government also disallows the sale of farming land. This ensures that you don't have a few mega operations taking over all of the farm land. If you want to start farming in Japan, you will have no problem because land is available. If you want to start farming in the UK? Good luck unless you have millions of pounds to get started. Even then you probably won't be able to get any land.

In order to ensure that the land is in productive use, land owners get government subsidies when it is. Again, this ensures that land is available for farming.

Compare the amount of money that Japanese farmers get for their produce to US or European farmers. Compare the markup that US and European distributors charge to that of the JA. If you think Japanese farmers don't know what's going on, I think you are very much mistaken.

CUDA works just fine. The lack of up-to-date OGL support is a non-issue for most professional applications.
Unfortunately, software has not much advanced beyond where it was ten years ago. There have been a lot of attempts, but the fact is that it's very difficult to see returns on mass-market scientific software - the market is relatively small compared to the likes of Snapchat. The software tooling certainly makes it easier to make the scientific tools - but you still have to earn enough to support a company (and compete against 'decent' freeware). Desktop software - outside of very custom huge pharma-style companies, or free-ware academic python libraries is a non-starter - as no one will download it.

The nicest Desktop software I know of is SnapGene: http://www.snapgene.com/ which has to compete against the ancient (and pretty good) freeware, APE: http://biologylabs.utah.edu/jorgensen/wayned/ape/

The older players (VectorNTI, and-the-rest-I-can't-rememeber) are never updated and likely yet exist to service contracts from huge institutional customers.

It's a relatively small (and dispersed) community of users right now. We need a place that scientists actually go to to show off all of our nice shiny new toys. Each comes with their own style and with their own strengths - it'd be fun to showcase them all together.
To me, that landing page reads as:

1. This product doesn't precisely need a web presence—it's an email newsletter, not a web-app.

2. We rely so little on inbound marketing that our site can have obvious grammatical errors. Nobody reads our copy; everyone just comes in from Google already pre-qualified, scrolls until they see the CTA, and hits the button.

3. People mostly find out about our product through outbound marketing—i.e., we call, email, or "run into" them.

4. We don't have all that many customers; we're still at the "doing things that don't scale" stage.
The more I think about it, the more I come to the realization that academia isn't really a great place to be. Thankfully I'm at the start of my PhD and don't have a MS (I can drop out with the MS), so I'm not exactly stuck for the long run.

The thing is, I'd really like the option to "retire" as a college professor after a decade or so in industry. Having a PhD in hand from early on in my career will make that much, much easier.

I still have a lot of thinking to do!
Cool! I built something similar to the find tool for a friend. However, it's for RNA and specifically for looking for a region that could base pair as part of an RNA secondary structure interaction. It allows you to search for all possible locations that could pair given a certain number of mismatches.

It can also correlate against MFOLD predicted RNA secondary structures to eliminate possibilities that are not in single stranded regions.

It's fairly normal among workers' cooperatives to assign equity to people in proportion to how much work they currently put into the company. This is the basic premise, not some kind of new innovation. If you object, may I humbly recommend considering the alternate diagnosis, that it is you who is a parasite leeching off the workers?

Ask HN: Is it better to build intranet apps with desktop technologies?
In the recent "Electron is like Flash" thread it was claimed by many people that desktop apps are much easier to create and have better tooling than for the browser.

Is it a good idea to use desktop technologies for Intranet apps at least (with only API endpoints on the server)? Which stack would you recommend? How hard will it be to auto update the software?

Thanks.
If the US took over Turkey, its natural resources would be worth maybe 1% of the US GDP, and it would fact an unending insurgency that would require several million US troups to keep under control, and lead to thousands of US soldiers being killed every year.

As others have already stated, this article is a great introduction for when you'll be the only one to access the repositories, as anyone able to authenticate for that account will have access to all repos.

There are some tools that restrict access with varying levels of granularity, but if you just want to restrict access on a per-repo-per-sshkey basis, one of my projects is a simple shell script that does just that:

It originally came to be because I've found gitolite too big to maintain for simply sharing some repositories with a few other people. It has since served me well and is used in some business applications, too.
My experience is that also Willow Garage is listed as the main author on many of the (still current) AR tooling, but I don't know the story between them and Intel.

well no, you still can't park on the sidewalk in LA, only the parkway (area between the sidewalk and the curb) or the apron (part of the driveway between the sidewalk and the road).

in any case, i would love to have this kind of inexpensive rackless bike sharing in LA. the metro has bike sharing in downtown (https://bikeshare.metro.net/), but it's not rackless and is only economical if you live and/or work there and can use it often. santa monica has expensive, racked bike share (https://santamonicabikeshare.com/), blah.

Yes, if anything because they know exactly what apps are installed, and where they come from. No custom configurations, scripts, or anything.

Possibility to help the user make a backup via iCloud (harder to do on Mac).

Also, you might argue that if you had to lose it, you'd rather lose data on your phone then your computer. I backup my computer every hour with Time Machine, but if I lost my phone I would care the slightest if I had to install again from a 10-day-old backup.
