I don't know what is the Russian equivalent of this saying, but the Ukrainian version that got very popular recent years has an interesting culturological twist. The word that is used as an antonym of "victory" does not translate to English as "defeat", but instead it literally means "betrayal". This is because in Ukrainian history we almost never lost by being defeated, and almost every time our defeats were results of betrayal. And same thing applies to the ongoing war: we don't really fear a military defeat as much as a political betrayal (either internal or external).

I wonder how many companies shut down due to this. My company is in a similar situation (not a tech cost but still) and it feels unbelievable that we may need to shut down even though we have so many customers. I never hear about these stories though, as if all companies have a large buffer that can handle these increases.

Well, I about that message loled too ;). Later it became annoying and a nice example how Microsoft really cares.

If you claim people are asking for these services, then what about not showing them down the throats of those who didn't ask for them? Seem simple, right? If they are so popular, why piss off those who don't care about them? Why do I have look after every Cmd-O at Onedrive file chooser, when I'm never going to use it and there's no option "do not bother me with this again?". I'm sure that Cortana might be on 600M devices, but there are not 600M active users... more likely users what resigned on looking for a new ways to turn it off. See the difference?

Office for Mac 2016 is updated every month indeed, but it is still missing features. For example, everything that starts with Power (PowerQuery, PowerPivot, PowerMap), or Inquire. The Mac version of Office does work with exactly 3 ODBC drivers. It doesn't work with exactly the same ODBC drivers, that the Windows has no problem with (PostgreSQL, for example - it crashes).

There was a lot written about Visual Studio for Mac and it being a rebranded Xamarin. See past discussions here, at HN.

And let's go back to the Office for Linux, shall we? That's the Microsoft prime lock-in device for many. Drivers for Hyper-V or Linux subsystem for Windows help Microsoft, not Linux.
I think you underestimate the problem, which is not to get an output that says "Bird", but one that says "Specific breed of bird."

Human experts can get enough clues from the bird shape and the context to do that in the sample photos. I doubt your captioning system can.

This is a good example of a standard problem in ML - underestimating the complexity of the problem domain.

You could argue that your system only needs to do the simpler task to be useful, and that's likely true. But if the goal is to approach human expert levels of classification, it needs to improve by at least a few levels.

I suspect getting it there would run into some interesting performance constraints, and possibly some theoretical issues too.
Wouldn't it be better to port your app to another platform than to shut down?
There's another obvious solution, wait a few years and the end of cheap oil will fix traffic. Then the countries that built themselves around roads, cars and cheap oil will face larger issues (mostly US and Australia IIANM).

The worst part is that this had been foreseen and warnings have been made but nothing is done to deal with it.
They may not have explicitly asked, but A) the example picture shows a MasterCard, and B) your credit card is quite possibly included in "the stuff you have in your purse". At the very least, they shouldn't have used that example image, and probably should have explicitly said NOT to post your credit card.
I only "partially agree": I often wrap entire sections of a program in a try block. This way, it can catch any unexpected errors, report them, and put the program back into a manageable state where it can keep running.

So I think exceptions are a good thing for unexpected outcomes; Resource errors, programming errors, etc. The problem is, we use them in cases where the error is, technically speaking, a possible, or "expect-able", outcome (such as the classical example of de-serializing data). In those cases, I fully agree, a type-level, explicit handler using the Either monad would be better.

I even think, the "expected case" is why Java introduced the notion of annotating exceptions. But as there are two different use-cases, this did not mix well...
Yes, but that does not diminish my potential explanation for why people sometimes do not wish to use github but gitlab instead, which is the subject of the thread (see title).

Why on earth would you imagine 100,000 is an ok goal? My 2004 Toyota Carolla has around 150k miles on its original engine and supposing you keep maintaining it 250k is not unreasonable.

It seems odd that you would accept a design lifetime that is 40% of a car made 13 years ago.

I'm also not clear why you would expect the majority to perform above spec? Wouldn't a significant number fail under spec? Isn't a care which may become a total loss in 60-80k miles basically tissue paper quality?

Is there a large difference between using Firebase Database and another hosted DBaaS, such as MongoDB Atlas?

I use Firebase Database but keep it arms length by avoiding any of the proprietary features it offers. I use it exclusively as a JSON store which I feel I can easily export at any time if I wanted to switch to another NoSQL DBaaS.

A few people here are mentioning how it's crazy to depend on external services for an app, but as an 'indie' dev, I can't spend time maintaining a secure, high-availability database. Or a mail server when I can use SendGrid, or a logging platform when I can use Sentry, or any of the other service my app depends on.

I guess I was offended that Marina Abramovic is dragged into this on the flimsiest of evidence. She is one of the leading artists in the world, and this kind of malicious gossip is the complete opposite of the radical openness and self-consciousness that she lives through her work.

That's probably why this character assassination feels personal: if it can happen to her, it can happen to anyone.

> You made it clear you don't know the who what or where on subjects I suggested are pretty basic and related, yet you seem sure you are informed. If you want to know more, you could. It's not something anyone can effectively research in an evening unless you want to just dismiss it.

Here's the thing though: it's not something anyone can effectively research over the Internet -- full stop!

Edgar Welch, the Pizzagate gunman who drove to Washington to investigate the Comet restaurant, believed he had done deep research on this. His family said to reporters that he spent months obsessing about it. One day, he had enough. This is what happened next:

"According to texts cited by prosecutors, Welch believed he was doing a public service.

'Raiding a pedo ring, possibly sacraficing [sic] the lives of a few for the lives of many,' Welch wrote to one friend.
'Standing up against a corrupt system that kidnaps, tortures and rapes ­babies and children in our own back yard.'

He added: 'I’m sorry bro, but I’m tired of turning the channel and hoping someone does something and being thankful
it’s not my family. One day it will be our families. The world is too afraid to act and I’m too stubborn not to.'

When he went to Washington, Welch took with him the assault weapon, a .38 revolver and a 12-gauge shotgun.
When he walked into the restaurant, diners, including families with children, fled in panic.

According to court documents, Welch fired the rifle several times at a locked closet door, damaging computer equipment,
and aimed the gun at an employee who had entered the back of the restaurant and promptly ran back out. No one was injured.

Welch later said he regretted his actions."

(Quoted from https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/mar/25/comet-ping-p...)

Do you think Welch was well-informed by Internet research?
Such a small post, so many strange ideas:

1) That choosing investment over dividends must be a selfless act that makes one worse at their job (rather than simply a different option, possibly even more lucrative).

2) That "we" (who?) don't make life choices for selfless reasons, when it's plainly obvious that many do.

3) The idea that investors don't have a moral guideline AND that that's somehow acceptable.

There are still 8-socket systems, like the Supermicro 7088B (192 DIMMs), which support a theoretical 24 TB (with 128 GB modules).

(It would be interesting to know whether this backplane-based system actually manages to achieve 4.8 GHz QPI speed (9.6 GHz symbol rate), or whether the physical aspects limit it to lower speeds. Given that processors only have four QPI links this would further increase communication overhead -- in a 8-way system some sockets are separated by two hops).

Figure out what the remaining viable state of the program is, report the error (yes, loudly!), and recover. This would be the far more correct advice for #1 (except for tiny binaries doing a single job only, as said).

My mistake, born from a delusion of my own making, is believing that the entirety of the HN crowd magically falls within the <= 5% of people I consider to be legitimately intelligent, capable of thought relying on science that is universally proven to be true rather than manmade speculation based on tomfoolery. Without seeing any replies countering my statements, I can only assume that these people are petty enough to vote with their trigger-happy index finger rather than taking the time to absorb - and perhaps reply to - the points of discussion I have raised.

Yes, it's much better and no I wouldn't want to go back to the state of computing in 1981, but I think that calculation speed is a poor proxy for degree of improvement.

I think it's kind of weird to see Google/Firebase team members swarming around in dozens on HN when they present a new feature, which seems to me like a coordinated marketing effort by Google. But once problems arise or they get criticized by their own users, no one seems to be available for a comment.

Yes, for that reason a POC I made for a side project costed almost 100 bucks to me (I was the single user)... I never checked the current bill because I was sure the total cost would have been around 15-20... when I got charged I noticed all the previous pushed versions had a single instance running, so the costs were incremental...

Zen has SHA1/2 extensions compatible to the Intel SHA extensions, yes. These are kinda new on desktops, but since they existed for some years some software already supports them out of the box (like OpenSSL and cryptopp); so applications will automatically profit.

With this extension Zen does SHA1 @ 2 cpb, SHA-256 @ 3 cpb and SHA-512 @ 2 cpb (off the top of my head). (All of which are faster than the fastest BLAKE2 implementation I know on Haswell).
I'm not sure the propaganda did as much as the heavy tobacco taxes and having friends and relatives who died early and painfully from disease.
You don't have to compromise, you just have to evaluate. What could go wrong ? In this case, the worst thing that can happen is that you have to get your data and move, which are both easy to do.

So what you can do is:

- create a git lab instance as a synchronized unused backup that doesn't require a lot of maintenance to work.

- use github as the main dev plateform.

- then if (and it's a biiiiiig if) something ever go wrong, you switch

The benefits are huge :

- much less work work for the GNU and FSF;

- much more reliable plateform. If you get hit by a massive traffic, your gitlab instance is less likely to hold than github;

- much more visibility;

- much less friction.

It's a win-win.

It's not about fad. It's about being practical. You can fight for your freedom without rejecting everything closed source. We are all against slavery, but I don't see anybody on HN refusing to post a comment here because their laptop is being build by slavery labor in China. Which they all are.

I gather you have financial problems and are working hard to fight them. There seems to be some relation with the people on HN that don't help, but how? Did you ask for help and nobody offered? Is it sarcasm and people are actively hindering you in your job? I am confused, and I can see how someone could understand that you're asking for money. (I'm female, in case that matters.) So, I also concur that your way of expression is a bit unclear.

> A few people here are mentioning how it's crazy to depend on external services for an app, but as an 'indie' dev, I can't spend time maintaining a secure, high-availability database

Nobody is saying that you shouldn't rely on external services.

What's wrong on the other hand is to depend on a proprietary database offered by a single vendor.

Firebase is a proprietary database, which means you can't go to the competition without having to rewrite your application. It's called vendor lock-in. Plenty of SAAS provide MongoDB as a service and you can install MongoDB on your own machine, so if a SAAS is price gouging you, you can move to the competitor with a cheaper plan.

If you are not using Firebase ACL or Firebase realtime features then you shouldn't even be using Firebase at all. Don't use MongoDB either. Postgres provide JSON types and queries and most Postgres SAAS are much much cheaper than MongoDB SAAS.

Even if we accepted your view of the topic I don't think advocating a policy that has ruin as a consequence is the same as advocating a policy whose explicit goal is ethnic cleansing. Also, the reason you're seeing a resurgence in interest in alternatives to capitalism is that it's working out poorly for more and more people. Policies like for-profit medicine are equally capable of ruining people's lives or outright killing them.

You don't have to choose. It's git. It's decentralized. You can have your cake and eat it. Have most activity on github, but a dormant gitlab as a backup in the (improbable) case it reveals unsuitable. Github is not facebook, you can get easily all your data back, in a open format.

Imho, it's more typical of machine learning. Sure, both can be very similar and are often signs of a lack of deeper understanding.

I'm no ML expert by any means, but I've seen several bachelor/master thesis and even ML competitions where ensembles performed best. Sure, this isn't necessarily aimless stirring and could combine models that really capture different aspects of the data. But often enough it's just several algorithms that do the same general thing, combined to achieve a slightly higher score.

Imho this is most relevant when competitions provide data that is not readable by humans (e.g. simplified: "classify these documents where all words are given as word IDs and never as actual strings").

To me this has a touch of pouring in data, stirring (build many classifiers and plug them together in an ensemble), and getting answers on the right side.

Optimizing hyper parameters goes in a similar direction, imho. I can really see an analogy to stirring
