Yep, that's why I left it off the list.

I've actually written some LambdaNative. Unfortunately, we ended up going with Cordova, but you can guess which one was more fun to write.
Why not measure application response times on instance instead of at home? Would have been more interesting to see how $my_web_app runs on some t2.micros vs some arm boxes?

I think you're missing the point. The question is certainly not whether the guitar heroes of old inspire new generations to the same extent it did us.
Sure pop has moved on from the image of hairy flashy axe wielding fairies shredding away while 3 other dudes prance around. But that's fashion. It has little to do with the instrument and everything to do with fads and marketing.
Also you can sure as hell not ruin dancing with a solo (Black Sabbath, Led zep, Red Fang more recently!?), the issue is that there are too many fretboard wankers who pushed technical style for technical style's sake. That is what I hope the next generation of metal/rock guitarists will break away from.

Keep it heavy, and keep it coming \m/ (sorry hn)
Thai is an abuguida, descended from Brahmi just like most of the rest of the South and South-East Asian scripts. It's probably the one with the most additional stuff to consider, but fundamentally it's the same kind of script.
Gibson and Fender are like the companies that sell exercise equipment: lots of people buy one with the best of intentions, and three to six months later it's collecting dust in the basement.

It's not hard to see why. Playing music is hard. The ratio of effort to reward is just terrible. I totally understand why people quit.
Because the joke is actually a utility, and I for one plan to share links to others with it to continue the fun (can't be done with a witty/funny comment).
> Sadly this solution still offers less security than systems integrated into SSO/OAuth and 2FA.

OAuth implementations very often have vulnerabilities. Just look at how many Facebook had!

Not to mention 1) it doesn’t scale like passwords and 2) all the privacy implications.

As for 2FA it’s in addition to primary authentication scheme, like a password, not instead.
The compiled code is also a lot slower. https://www.cis.upenn.edu/acg/softbound/
Maybe I'm alone in privacy concerns, but something behind the "great firewall" scares me a bit to trust.
Undefined behavior isn't something that can be detected. Any addition of signed integers might be undefined behavior. What UB means is the compiler can apply transformations only correct in the range where UB doesn't happen.

Trendy or not trendy, your argument boils down to "we should trade liberty for security in this global surveillance arms race".
The electric guitar is now what the saxophone was in the fifties: the iconic instrument of the hottest music of dad's generation.
Maybe, but trying to make a market better by regulating it sounds wrong.
Considering most people in the world use Windows, dmg is pretty much irrelevant. They can only be opened/unpacked on Macs, so even if it contains a evil payload you won't ever got to it on Windows or Linux.

Exe-files has much bigger impact and can be run through emulation on non-Windows systems.

I'd say exe is a much better choice.

I only use functions to read and write to Postgres.
An API for calling functions seems to be missing, so is useless for me. Have I missed something?
Obviously could be achieved by executing SQL scripts, but this is not very elegant. Any plans to add a function API?
Been playing guitar for 20 years, and this is spot on! The John Mayer comment is ridiculous, he's a great guitarist. Even many of John Mayer's biggest pop radio hits have great chord voicings and writing built-in (No Such Thing, Why Georgia, Neon, Daughters). The YouTube factor you mention is also amazing.

This article was probably right, but it's so focused on the good ole days that it's sad. Times change. Art changes. Diplo and TSwift are as legit as SRV and Dylan. Rock on.
That would assume that NSA and CIA do not share informations. So that actions from the first don't benefit the other. It would be foolish. No need to create 2 mass system if your brother has one and you can use it as much as you want.
The fact we can't make a distinction doesn't mean there isn't one. Just that we can't know about it.
Feel the Noise: Homemade Slime Becomes Big Business
Yep. Project to replace a single 24-core, 24G, SAN-connected Oracle box with 10 48-core, 96G boxes with internal SSD running Mongo.

The Oracle box was faster and had a DBA look at it maybe once a week. The Mongo setup required a full time team of a half dozen people. It's a complete joke. And their marketing lies included "you don't need a DBA"..
Good stuff, but that last point is what a lot of critics of science don't get. We don't believe scientific discoveries, such as that the speed of light in a vacuum is a universal limit, because a famous scientist proved it years ago and now we take it on faith. We believe is because every physics student that goes through university and studies this stuff proves it themselves from first principles. We believe it because we have followed through the chain of reasoning, studied the experimental equipment and done the experiment ourselves. Many of us anyway. These experiments and the principles they are based on haven't been proven a few times, in many cases they've been proven hundreds of thousands of times.
It's like saying peace is trendy and we should not try to go weaponless.

That makes no sense.

We all want peace. We all know that peace is not there yet and that without weapons the other countries would take advantage of it.

Yet we all know that the weapon oriented society the US has become is a major issue.

It's not contradictory, just being honest with yourself.
Dmg isn't scary. It's just a disk-image that mounts upon download. You have to manually start any executable on it.

And yes, there are users who click on executables carelessly, but those aren't scared by url-parts.
Your argument is in the same vein as why us has the largest military force. I don't think it's irrational, but I would say it does not address the new security threats.
That was legit
LOL, you've just named the top 4 Mayer covers in my son's regular gigging set. I must say when I first saw Mayer play "Neon" with just the acoustic guitar on "Where the Light Is", I was floored and thought that he must have to have two brains to be able to achieve that. [0]

When my son said he wanted to learn to play that song solo, I told him it would be nearly impossible. But he learned it and plays it just like John does. I have been playing for > 30 years and there is no way I could do that! :)

That strikes me as obviously untrue.

For example, we might now have the 'scientific knowledge' to explain why a particular mushroom is poisonous, but it probably started with a 'avoid it because your cousin died eating that one', followed by the observation that this happened to multiple cousins, followed by some kind of proto-scientific experimentation. None of this might qualify as 'scientists' doing 'science' by our standards, but it's still knowledge.

That doesn't necessarily mean homeopathy should be taken seriously at this point though.

In what way are you more secure then when someone uses a .com domain? In both cases it is easy to register a url and turn into a malicious site. It really seems you are blackholing parts of the web for no good reason except to exempt yourself from actually performing a security check on the sites on the assumption all other tld's are safe.
I don't get why you're putting English on such a high pedestal. It's just another language, and a very annoying one for those taking it up as a second language due to its lack of internal consistency. If you care so much about learning some world language, I suggest you learn and start teaching your kids Chinese since that's the country on pace to surpass the US in economy. [0]

People playing these games aren't doing it to gain a marketable fluency to allow them to get a great job and prevent their family from begging (as your alternate future would supposedly have entailed). They're doing it to wind down after the end of a day, to experience something entertaining. Being forced to do it in another language is not anyone's definition of fun (instead it's alienating) and that's why despite the original game existing in English, the author mentions fan translations popping up. Btw, knowing just English will also lock you into a silo—that of the anglosphere and despite your veneration for it, it's not the end all be all of culture, nor do its tendrils reach everywhere. (for example, there's a wealth of Japanese literature that hasn't even been touched by American translators; same for so many interesting cultures in other countries) localization is a gift of culture to those who speak other languages—it's the same thing that allows Americans to enjoy French poetry, German philosophy, Korean comics, etc... Don't be so hasty to put down the whole world just to feel good about your own choices and shame those who aren't so capable or willing to jump on the Anglotrain.

Ask HN: How do companies reward employees in lieu of a meritocracy?
How are companies that eschew meritocracy (e.g. GitHub) determining how employees are promoted and given raises?

Do they use some kind of perceived effort scheme or seniority? Or is it still merit-based with a punitive adjustment for white and asian males?

It's my philosophy - if our ancestors were strongly religious, it was because it was necessary for survival. If they were attached to particular religious theory for a long period of time it's because that particular theory held society together. If they preferred religion over Aristotle it was because Aristotle's philosophy was outdated and mostly baloney. I believe our ancestors are intelligent human beings who did their best to live as I do. These days humanity is preferring observation/evidence to religion because the latter has become dogma and the former is helping us survive. People in each time try to do the best in their time.

Our evolution involves both our physical bodies and DNA as well as the knowledge we are passed down from our ancestors. I am wary of the modern perspective that everything old is obsolete. These days people are more cautious about avoiding removing their tonsils or appendix unnecessarily than in trying to keep the experience and mystical knowledge our ancestors have given to us, because we assume their knowledge is old and must be obsolete.

Personally I am not a Christian and I'm religious and spiritual, at least I try to be. But I do believe Christianity was given to us because we needed it, and we ought to be careful when discarding our religions and practices we don't do it too quickly in a rushed manner. Just because our appendix seems extra and have some obvious disadvantages and no obvious advantage doesn't mean we have to rip it out of every newborn.

Can singularity be reached before humanity collapse in disaster? I think it depends a lot on our spirituality.

Anyway, personally I'm content to live with and pray with my wife each day, raise a family together, and just enjoy the sights we see, the sounds we hear and the food we eat until the day we pass.
It's time another instrument got a chance at the spotlight. I'm going to call it: the next big thing is Tuba heroes!

> Not trying to be negative, I'm a fan of how much power AWS gives you.

I am.

I find AWS API incredibly baroque and has a lot of historic baggage. I suspect a lot of this complexity is a result of an accumulation of features made by multiple people in multiple teams over the years and inertia of customers relying on it, so there is (understandably) no will to change it.
So there's TerarkDB: https://github.com/Terark/terarkdb

And there's TerichDB: https://github.com/Terark/terichdb

How are they related to each other?

Also TerichDB calls itself open source but then includes this: "TerichDB is open source but our core data structures and algorithms(dfadb) are not yet."

If the core algorithms of TerichDB is not open source then is TerichDB even usable? Are you going to open source the core algorithms?

All this is rather confusing.
I don't think you send them your data. They send you their technology.
Do people who are popular live longer? Or do people who think are popular live longer?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but ARM is much less power hungry, and produces less heat. Both options that at scale means potential cost savings on resale.

It might not be enough to offset the other costs, but it could be enough to offer a less costly service. At the end of the day though, half of what you get with AWS is a ton of library support in many languages for using AWS services.
This might not be possible, e.g. if the UI says Difficulty: high/low
And the separate UI elements are fed separate stings.
i agree. not only that, there are so many beautiful feelings to be found within the realm of "sadness". and don't let that emotional pain be a barrier to you experiencing meaningful things that'll help you grow.

I spent about 15 minutes going through the tutorial before getting bored and trying to find a real game, only to find I have to finish the tutorial. I get that there's a lot to explain but man that tutorial is long.

A way to solve this problem would rather than explaining everything up front add a campaign whereby you first play games against AI with only the basics unlocked, then as you advance explain what the newly unlocked thing is.

The main problem here is that you have a new match for each new feature, but walk through it step by step with tutorial messages. Just having one message at the start of each tutorial message "this is unicorn, unicorn does X" and then let the player figure it out would go a long way IMO.
What you're talking about is called a scribal abbreviation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scribal_abbreviation

It's actually more complex than simply adding a slash to indicate you're omitting letters. Both the position of the mark and the kind of mark you make indicate exactly what letters are being omitted. It's a medieval form of shorthand, except unlike modern shorthand, it appears in all kinds of books. Back when every copy of every book had to be written by hand, it was acceptable to take shortcuts.

Oh, and the really cool part is that scribal abbreviations were the banner feature of Unicode 5.1 (you can thank MUFI for putting the work into getting these into Unicode), so you can actually use them in text now!
In what country is that? It became popular in NL 24 years ago. One year before that I was listening to Slayer in a Portugese club and Neil Young at a camping disco. The year after, the same places were playing house. Taste is taste and winning whatever, but that was a loss to me.
Thanks! I'm glad you like it.
I think it's just you , About 3/4 of the way through reading the article I was actually wondering what effect this survey would of caused to marine life that was close to what must be an incredibly loud noise to reach the seafloor and then bounce back to receivers close to the surface.

Not only can loud sounds cause deafness in humans but a loud enough sound will kill you.

It says they believed in the possibility, so it's 'can'.
The ltsb version is used as the only Win10 version for ordinary desktop use in a large US organization. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one. And I never saw any documentation indicating this isn't the intended use - so I suspect a massive marketing and documentation error by Microsoft. It's basically used as "Win10 Enterprise".

“You don’t see a bunch of kids emulating John Mayer and listening to him and wanting to pick up a guitar because of him.”

Emphasis on a bunch of kids. As someone who likes guitar it pains me to say that this seems true.

My son is 11, in a (very) music-heavy school. When I was his age I think almost every boy (and some girls) in my class learnt guitar - it was the instrument.

In my son's class I think there are 2 learning it.

The guitar will never die, but the popularity isn't what it was.
Ask HN: What apps have been sold or acquired before becoming a company
What examples of softwares, apps, bots have been sold or acquired before they even became a startup company if this has happened before. i.e an MVP that is built out & attracts a lot of users & before the founder could form a company they sold it.
I think part of my problem is that I develop Windows desktop software and my customers will have more features than I in their Win10. I absolutely need every last new feature.
Most of the time, yes.
I'm working within a corporation, distributed teams, just leveled up from dev to overseeing our team.
Had to deal with a lot of issues, both technical (no docs, crappy code, too much knowledge we don't have and takes time to investigate, etc.) and managerial (our team is always behind, always wrong, they're always right, etc.) but among those things I find myself motivated to improve our environment. To help with investigation and domain knowledge as much as I can, to reduce the burnout and 'manage' team's frustration, to mentor the group of interns, to improve technical stack, to became an independent and performance team, etc.
I'm still in my early days of this leadership experience and I'm very unsure of what, how and if I'll succeed but at least every morning I'm rushing to work.
If you were not trying to be poetic, religious or weren't under any influence, I thought I'd let you know that what you wrote sounds like meaningless word salad to me. It could be wise to consider seeking professional help to ensure everything is alright.

What advantages does this have over a simple query builder?

Runtime db introspection sounds heavy and the claimed benefits of massive.js apply to raw SQL just the same, so I don't know why I should use this over raw SQL or a simple query builder like knex.

I don't understand what this project brings to the table. I could be wrong, but nearly everything I read in the project documentation seems to be taking credit for SQL and not bringing any additional value to what's already there. My reaction is: "SQL is what offers this, not massive.js." So what does Massive.js do? If there's a value-add, then the documentation needs a rewrite, because I'm having a hard time finding it.
