In this case, business and political strategy unify in their mutual interest in IPFS's survival. Screaming and being outraged doesn't produce change. Methodical, contemplated action does. Flying under the radar until you're strong enough for conflict is a sensible strategy.
How do you think generic configuration management systems are replacable by a hosting provider and some autoscaling system?

Honestly curious, I've never seen anyone scale just by "using puppet/chef".
While I imagine this is true for some people, the average of houses when torn down in Japan is 30 years according to their Ministry of Land, and I have multiple co-workers who have spoken about moving their family in with their or their spouse's parents while having their home torn down and rebuilt.
Try finding more specific places to share it - globally broadcasting it on twitter it will just be lost in the noise; find a specific niche community that would really appreciate your project and share there.

However, I will say I think there's probably not much "market" for your app. It seems like it's just a wrapper for what can already be done with webhooks and slack.
"Merely 3.6%"? You realize the largest institutional shareholder of Apple stock is Vanguard, owning ~330 million out of 5.3 billion shares? A "mere" 6.2% or so?
It is a point of view that can only be held by people who feel like their opinions on how Apple should spend its money are valid, which is utterly ridiculous in every way that isn't imaginary.
If your batch settings are low enough Kinesis should be fine. SQS with long polling would also be pretty fast if you have enough workers.
Thanks @ccallebs. re: API, The Beer Mapping Project has you covered: https://beermapping.com
Only somewhat. As far as anyone can tell, because afaik Google hasn't come out and said precisely, all the money goes into a large pot and then the whole pot is split by the portion of minutes watched with Red that for each channel. ie in a simple case with two channels and 2 Red viewers if person A watches 20 minutes of channel A and person B watches 10 minutes of channel B in a month: A gets 2/3 of the pot and B gets 1/3.

At least that's what seems to be happening as far as I can see from the various articles written about it.
The predominant theory, though, is that the bombardment was caused by changes within our own solar system, not from outside - per your link
This is nothing against you, I do it too:

I find it hard to reconcile people arguing that they love content, and how it's "undervalued" on one hand, then stating that they pay <$1 for the product.
Good suggestion. It's on my TODO list.
I still use a Mac for audio work, but it's a Hackintosh. Last real Mac (aside from a Macbook) was a G5 Mac Pro. Which, was the last good Mac Pro ever made.

As far as development work, I run it all on servers. Whether it's something cloud based, or my own Linux box at home, A low powered laptop SSHFS'd into a server is my preferred way of working.

Ask HN: Good software jobs other than web dev, for the self-taught?
I attended college, but got a BFA in electronic media which 99% of the world doesn't know about or acknowledge, and a lot of the CS basics I have taught myself. So I consider myself in the self-taught group.

Nine years after doing web dev I'm considering opening my options for other areas of programming. Most of what I see in the bootcamp or self-taught route has been web dev or mobile dev. What are other areas that I could probably break into?
I'm not Taylor_OD, but Patreon's currently running me about $70/month, with a non-trivial fraction of that being Youtube shows.

Lintian: insecure YAML validation [CVE-2017-8829]
Jobs was a truck user in his famous analogy. As CEO, he clearly didn't do much design or programming or have any true pro needs, but if you see photos of his home office, what do you see? A big honking Mac Pro (and even a scale model on his desk!).

Jobs didn't need a Mac Pro and a huge external monitor, and could have clearly used a laptop or iMac. The fact that he used the company's pro computer in his home office tells you a lot about him and the kinds of computers he liked.

The Mac Pro is very much a Johnny Ive design and idea (and not updating it feels like something that a numbers obsessed CEO like Cook would do). I'm not convinced at all Jobs would have let the Mac Pro flounder like this.

I truly believe that if Steve Jobs were alive today, the Mac Pro would be routinely updated.
How do you determine "most promising", though? Especially when many edits may not individually look like much (e.g, copyediting, fixing typos, etc), but help improve the overall quality of an aticle.

What this is likely to turn into, in practice, is a forest of dead forks. Division of effort, without a combination of progress.
Why are there so many articles, mostly condescending or blatantly speculative, about all this Apple? I can't, for the life of me, understand this.

They do what they do and that's it. Only Apple understands what Apple does. No one else. How is that not clear?

Sorry for the rant.
> We are a very small dev team

That's the secret though, right? When you have teams of dozens of developers in a company of thousands the cost of adoption and the resistance you encounter increases exponentially. At least I can evangelize React/Redux/Typescript and get a sane development experience that's still just JavaScript.
> they view the medication AS the fix, instead of the tool that helps you find it

This. Professionals should explain that these medications are a tool to help you manage rather than a "fix" you should be taking your whole life.
It is possible to figure this out on your own, like the OP did, but not everyone can.
Yep, that's why I said "it's obviously not that simple". I also described "downward pressure" on wages, not a cutting of wages in half.
Shibboleth should cover the "decent" side of your question, given it's pretty heavily used in academia. The SP side of things is fairly straightforward to setup; whether the IdP counts as easy to deploy is probably a matter of opinion and experience.
The startup crowd has a hard time with a lot of these, especially the "Corporate Opportunities" one. So much so that I'd venture a guess that many are unaware that legally that's a pretty fundamental responsibility for a principal/officer of a corporation.

California.

Without looking into any statistics I can bet that Asian dominated Santa Clara will have much higher life expectancy than Alameda which has different racial profile mostly with low wage (H1Bs etc) Asian population. Merced which is highly Hispanic will be scraping the bottom.

NOW let me check the stats :

Santa Clara : 80.6
Alameda : 78.8
Merced :75.8
Another startup called Cargomatic tried to do this a few years ago. They raised $15MM but ended up shutting down last year due to logistical issues and not being able to meaningful generate revenue. One of the founders even came from a family who were in the trucking business. I think it's a good case study for the various challenges any entrant in this sector will need to solve in order to "disrupt" the old way of doing business.

A lot of the videos being demonetized don't seem any worse than what's on daytime TV. It will be interesting to see if Twitch can capitalize on this and start offering more options for non-live content. There already seems to be some youtubers moving to streaming on there to try and diversify.

Youtube in general seems very poorly run lately. The app on my phone right now won't play videos unless I update or wait 30 seconds. Who okayed that? You might as well just tell me to fuck off. I'd happily use something worse out of spite at this point. "Don't be evil, but really annoying is ok"
But the AST is effectively a "tiered system" lets say you have a 20TB of DB, 96GB fits in VRAM, 2 fits in your RAM, 17 and change are on your disks.

Today the GPU can see this as a single continuous memory space, you have it does the AST and handles page faults when needed and tries to optimize the execution of each task by prefetching the needed data to the VRAM by it self through branch prediction or by programming the usage hints yourself.

Here is a short paper/write up on the unified memory in Pascal, look at the difference between optimizing/profiling your memory usage and using the prefetch hints, you going from increasing your data set by 4 times of max GPU memory and getting performance reduced by about 3.8-4 times relying on page faults alone to only losing less than 50% of your performance while going over 4 times your maximum available VRAM.

The same thing can be done on cards with 24GB, and the magic is that the performance drop actually levels off at about 2-3 times your maximum available VRAM which is why the difference between 2 and 4 times the amount of memory isn't that big in terms of performance hit/gain to over allocation ratio, so 8 times your amount of memory is not that far behind the penalty you already pay for using 4 times more.

And yes there is no scenario in which you do not lose performance, but the unified memory solution in NVIDIA GPUs is a very good solution to reduce the penalty and if you really need to go balls to the wall you'll actually benefit from the scaling.

- wake up

- grab espresso from resort cafe

-catch up on emails, drinking espresso overlooking the carribean ocean

- fix a quick bug in my queue.

- go for a quick swim in the ocean, dress and make a green tea

- code for 3 hours

- swim in ocean again, eat something light

- code for another 3 hours

- call it a day and go hangout with women and read.

- sleep and repeat
Profession: Program/Analyst & Full-Time Student (40 hrs, ~13 hrs, respectively)

Example of one of my longer days:

[6:15] Alarm Goes Off

[6:16] Second Alarm Goes Off

[6:20] Second rounds of alarms going off, finally get up - hygiene stuff, take 200mg caffeine [3 wk on|1 wk off]/200mg L-Theanine to maintain the schedule throughout the week

[7:00] In the office, checking blogs, HN, Reddit, podcasts, etc.

[7:30] Finish up anything left over from the previous days, check work calendar, update desk calendar with upcoming due dates, tests, etc. for school

[7:45] People arriving in the office, a lot of noise

[8:15] Daily stand-up

[8:30] Focus in on tasks and begin working on them and fixing any bugs a user has pointed out

[9:45] Get ready to go to class, check HN once again

[3:00] Back in the office, might have a meeting, otherwise continue working on projects

[5:00] Almost everyone is out of the office, peace and quiet enues

[5:15] Office is empty - turn on a twitch stream for some background noise, and focus on stories for my project

[7:00] Eat dinner/get dinner at the office

[8:00] Prepare to go home, close out any tasks or bugs that have been fixed in the past couple of hours

[8:30] Get home and browse reddit/HN for a bit

[9:00] Turn on a game or TV show to unwind with, do homework, contemplate outstanding bugs from work

[12:00] Realize how late it is and how 24 hours ago I said I wouldn't stay up this late anymore, go lay in bed for 30 minutes thinking about school and work, eventually drift off
I don't think this is necessarily true? It used to be, but I sometimes see "python" being Python 3 and "python2" being Python 2.
Truth. Here in Ithaca the health care is pretty good, but quality falls quickly after 15 minutes drive in any direction.

Not to mention that, aside from college towns and the canal cities, most of upstate NY hasn't been economically prosperous for generations. It takes a toll on folks.
From the few people I know in the public sector, "working from home" is code for "working as little as possible". I suspect organizational culture plays a large role.
I'm the author of this post.

Here are a few things I highlight in this post as things to consider when architecting for failure: Retry, Backoff and Rate Limit. Use a Cache. Add Redundancy. Build a Buffer. Reconsider Dependencies. Introduce Isolation. Improve Test and Release Practices.

Click the post for more about how I think about each of these. I think that considering cost tradeoffs when doing evaluating each of these approaches is what makes architecting systems so challenging (and interesting).

What else do you do in your systems to handle failures gracefully? Any questions about what we are doing or how we are doing it?

This sounds a lot like the on-demand(ish) bus service called Bridj which just shut down here in Boston. [1] They promised popup bus routes just like Citymapper has, but it ended up that a lot of the "routes" they constructed were essentially missing gaps in the MBTA's bus/subway system.

The bus route generation tool that they mention seems to be very promising. Hopefully the realtime demand data is the piece that Bridj was missing, as it would be very cool to see this kind of stuff take off in other areas. I wish them all the success in the world - hopefully this works out for them.

Where are people getting that youtubers are undevalued? There are some really dumb channels out there where people are making $10k a month, easy from a few million views, with maybe one person helping them. There are many, many salty people out there that they are losing money because they don't know how to adjust to YouTube's algorithm changes. Sure, there may be some changes to advertising & some people may claim to 'leave' the platform, but the reality is, they make money. People just don't realize how much, even if many people out there have adblockers enabled.

Network effects (they already have many app installs and habitual users), and possibly an early mover advantage at the rate their program had been progressing.
lol dozens of paragraphs of speculation, and then Uber directly denies it at the very end. Talk about a waste of a read. This pretty much summarizes most blog articles these days.
You grossly misunderstand and under-appreciate the role of a classical performer. It is true that they strive to honor the wishes of the composer. But if they all did this the same way, there would be no need for musicians. Instead, each interprets the world of the composer through the lens of their own individual creativity. Performing music is as much of a creative art as composing music. There is nothing narrow, closed, or "merely" about it.

don't they just use twilio?
Initially, because net neutrality was just how business was done. It also helped that while there were certainly commercial applications of the early internet, they were fewer, and business-to-business more than business-to-consumer. Consumer applications of the internet were essentially non-existent outside, perhaps, informational and communication oriented, not consumption oriented (in the media sense). Then by the 90s you were dealing with more, and local, ISPs. These ensured a certain level of cooperation or you'd risk being booted out because you'd be known as a bad actor. This is also when consumer applications for the internet really start, but were also generally lower bandwidth (certainly due to the last-mile connections being slow, 28.8k to 56k modems, at the time, ISPs could handle you maxing out your 28.8k modem because you could only do so much damage to their total bandwidth pool).

Then with broadband you end up with users given access to a larger portion of the pool, akin to overbooking an airline. If everyone in my town gets 1Mbps but the local ISP can only handle 1Gbps, well, 1000 users maxing it out will shut the rest of the town out. This gets to a legitimate case for traffic shaping, ensuring equal access to the common resource pool. Those users can still max it, but only when everyone else isn't using it (or using it minimally).

However, traffic shaping (and related things like blatant packet dropping) started being more generally applied, to whole protocols (bittorrent) or services (Netflix, et al.). The latter example is a particularly good example of a conflict of interest. Companies like Comcast control so many user experiences in the US, but they own NBC and other media brands, as well as providing video-on-demand services as part of their cable offerings. They have a clear reason to want to reduce the QoS of Netflix and can, legally, without network neutrality. This is directly harmful to customers experiences, and a bordering on an abuse of market position.

===

Really, though, it's silly to look at how things worked 30 years ago and think the exact same rules will apply today. The circumstances have all changed. Broadband-requiring, consumer-oriented services didn't exist 30 years ago. They do today. ISPs today are screwing over consumers and prospective new businesses. They are the robber barons of the digital age, imposing their taxes at each bend in the river and screwing over everyone upstream and downstream to make a buck.
Ask HN: Best service to spin up a simple landing page?
I wonder if you guys know a good service to launch a very simple landing page. 1 Logo + 1 Text + 1 field to collect emails.
The free market is also not the panacea that many people think it is. Broadband is an industry where there is a natural monopoly, which is never good for consumers. Last mile infrastructure just costs too much and you can't have umpteen different companies digging holes in the street and stringing wires.

I've said for a while that we could rely on a free market solution to the broadband market with one very large change from the way that things are done now. Last mile infrastructure should be publicly owned and customers should be allowed to choose any provider. Once that's the case, then you can have a truly competitive market that's more likely to give consumers choice. Short of that, heavy regulation is better than allowing monopoly/duopoly players to behave in whatever way they want.
One thing to consider is if the programmer "owns" the code through deployment into production. If that is the case then the focus is working software not LOC or story points or velocity or tickets closed.

It's much better to have a flow that allows for continuous delivery of working software with monitoring, etc. rather than focusing on counts of things that don't matter. Do customers care about how many story points happened last sprint?

If management is focusing more on metrics than working software - then they will get people to focus on that as well over working software.
If Google bought Patreon they could integrate it directly into YouTube, but Patreon isn't platform-specific. It's hard to get something that's platform independent like Patreon and have it also integrate well with all the different content platforms out there.
This is what I want from Apple.

Laptop: ultralights (MacBook. This can be all soldered), value (MBA, or even the old 13" MB unibody, somewhat upgradable), powerful (13"/15" MBP, ram and ssd upgradable with standard components)

Desktop: all-in-one (slick design), value (smallish, somewhat upgradable), pro (flexible, upgradable)

And the pro models really need some semblance of upgradability, especially desktop pro.
That looks really neat! will try to follow it on GH!
