You are missing the point. Maybe he didnt upload those other 999 photos on the blog.
No you don`t. DB should be a single source of truth and there is no better tool that cares for the integrity of the data then the DB itself. If you have highly concurrent web app, and X connections are changing same collection, good luck with keeping the data sane without checks and transactions on the DB level. And let me not even mention if you have several different apps/services accessing the same db.
The US national debt has nothing to do with credit card debt.
toTest should be 128 * 128 * 3 to reflect 128 by 128 pixels of 3 bytes each, as would be the file size.

edit: just to add, I think "width = sqrt(filesize/3)" would be a better version for newbies. Even better would be to replace the code altogether.

The question asks us to ignore time and cost!
Fun factoid from the video: skyscrapers are being built so high now that the elevator cable can't support its own weight (let alone the cabin), thus presumably the search for alternatives.
I would go one further and suggest simply hosting your own site.
It'd be interesting to see a large/tall building with a back wall dedicated to an elevator grid. Each tennant, instead of a door to a hallway (or in addition to it) would have an elevator door. Press the button, the lift shows up, and it can take you to any other property on that building.

Eventually you could merge this kind of thing with other buildings, forming a kind of grid. Going out for dinner? Ask Alexa for a ride while you're talking in the foyer, 20 seconds later doors open and you're whisked away to a nearby restaurant where all you have to do is exit the lift and walk to your table.
As long as they're making a game to a deadline that has a shelf live, it won't be.

They should make a game for an era like "the V6 era" and give us a supported racing game, with DLC of current drivers or setups per season, but the core game is built as a community, and iterated upon.

A new game each year is just like map packs that divide player bases.
And yet, most credit card users do NOT pay off the amount in full. Why do you think banks push these cards so hard?

Indeed. Further to that, there are already a lot of DO-like hosting platforms out there but fewer AWS-like solutions targeting enterprise. So why would Google target a crowded market when they have the resources to target enterprise.

Also to offer my own anecdotal experiences using DO. I find it highly inflexible when I need to do anything more granular. Sure it's easy for deploying a standard build, but anything that falls slightly outside of DO's remit quickly becomes more trouble than it's worth. Where as AWS (and similar) might intimidate new comers with it's scale and complexity but that flexibility can also be a godsend.

Unfortunately, it just looks like a tablet OS, it doesn't behave as such.

I've tried to make it work dozens times, and while I can navigate across the opened windows and start a new one (just don't try it with Dash to Dock), I simply get stuck somewhere. The virtual keyboard doesn't show up, or the virtual keyboard does show up but it doesn't detect key presses.

And it's not intuitive. Let's say that I want to open the application launcher and start an app that isn't in my favorites. I can't scroll over the icons because that selects and moves the icons. I have to scroll on the side, where no icons are present. And even then, I can't make a small touch gesture. I have to scroll through all the vertical space on my touchscreen to get to the next grid of apps.

I can't use my 2 in 1 in a tablet mode for anything more complicated than the simplest tasks (like reading PDFs in Evince, which works wonderfully).

More of a rant.

There's time you need more flexibility. I'm serving 1.2MM requests per second from 3 GCP regions, managing instances and GKE clusters with terraform, and I cannot see how could I possibly set that up in a resilient fashion with DigitalOcean.

I think DO is perfect for certain scale apps. You usually care about UI things mostly when you spin up couple servers; but when you operate hundreds of machines you need automation.

GCP has it's quirks, e.g.
* 130k connections/core limit due to conntrack,
* lower networking throughput compared to AWS (16Gbps on GCP vs 25Gbps on AWS),
* no support for enhanced networking (haven't tested recent Andromeda 2.1 yet, though)
* no way to attach more than 8 local SSDs (arguably a good thing)
* etc

So does AWS, so does DO and you have to pick what's best for your project. One thing I like in general here is competition that makes all of those services better.

EDIT: Fix conntrack typo
A lot of very knowledgeable people agree that it's the dominant role of the front wing in the modern cars. Compare a 2016 car [0] with a 1999 car [1].

The front wing is responsible for a lot of the downforce but loses too much of its efficiency when in turbulent air. The remedy would be moving the rear wings higher (more slipstream with the turbulent layer of air higher above the cars), simplifying the front wings (which increases drag in clean air) and making the car underbody provide more downforce. Unfortunately, that's not the direction the F1 regulations have been moving to.

If your Schema is properly setup after the initial changes to it, then it's not error prone at all, it's doing what it's supposed to do.

Unless you migration involves "disable all checks, add new columns/tables, move and delete old data, enable all checks"

If you are migrating to a denormalised table then it should obviously crash when your conversion tool is doing something wrong and the RDBMS just prevented it from succeeding in doing something wrong.

If your migration is actually error prone as in "mangling and corrupting" data I suggest you are doing something wrong and you probably disabled the safety checks in your RDBMS.

As someone who actually bothered to sit down and spend the effort learning SQL, I agree. I've seen many colleagues in my career say "Oh SQL is hard/stupid/broken/whatever. MongoDB is so easy, it just works." and when pressed on whether they actually bothered to try and learn SQL, the answer is always no. Seems developers today are so lazy that we can't be bothered to learn a technology, if it's different from the ones we already know.

Then he goes on to say:

>People infected with this attitude will be utterly incapable of recognizing wrongdoing by their own society, utterly incapable of taking criticism or recognizing the need for correction.

This is a prime example of the "only a sith deals in absolutes" meme.

What is more pathetic is that I am so underemployed right now that I had the time to read this whole garbage article in the first place. I guess it's time to move on.
There is no ethical consideration in computer science.
There are goals on a horizon, souls to be stolen, identities to be classified, big money to be made. If someone is still asking why there is ageism in tech, the answer is not in performance of the elders. The answer is that when you are young, you are full of shit and its easy to be trained like pavlov dog. It is a natural thing, young people are more likely to be naive and easy to mislead. On other hand how you like your iPhone X? It is not secure, yet. After a year of training it will be. Face it people, privacy is dead.
AWS, Azure and GCP instances are completely different to Linode, DO, Vultr, etc... With the first three you get dependable performance characteristics with minimal variation (excluding t* EC2), this is the exact thing you need to do reliable horizontal scaling. Linode and Vultr and DigitalOcean etc.. are great for the price point but if I'm CPU bound and about to scale the identical service to N boxes then it's a poor choice.

As someone pointed out you have Lightsail if you want Linode/DO from AWS. 3.2.1... lets have cliche AWS/GCP/Azure is ridiculously expensive based on some undefined VPS memory/cpu details, hey virtual core!, and let's not forget the usual HE.net / Cogent / Level3 quote of 10Gig for $2000 and work out real bandwidth from there.. :rolleyes:

But depending on how you shape that information flow, you can create pretty weird outcomes because it allows for straight up wrong information to be consolidated in such a way that it might appear "true".

The Internet (social media to be more specific) has helped people with fringe ideas to connect with each other on a global basis, regardless of how fringe these ideas might be.
Pre social-media these "fringe believers" used to be so fractured and compartmentalized, limiting their influence and general visibility quite much.

Social media has allowed for these fringe believers to find each other, not just allowed, it's pretty much motivated it by personalizing what content and users get surfaced to them.
To put it in not so nice terms: Facebook has facilitated a situation where individual town-idiots unite on a global scale, this allows them to shape the public discourse in ways they haven't been able to before.

Case in point: People throwing around the term "cultural Marxism" these days like it's the most normal thing in the world. When "cultural Marxism" is basically just a reframing of the age-old Nazi conspiracy theory about the "International Jews controlling everything".

Not too long ago you could easily disregard people spreading such memes, as they were rare and single individuals. This doesn't work anymore because the idea of "cultural Marxism" being an actual thing has now been legitimized through massive social media echo chambers.

The sad part is that many of these people often don't even know what they are regurgitating because they get all their information just from their social media feeds. A quick google search of "cultural Marxism" should be able to educate anybody in a matter of minutes, but that would involve effort while "+like" and "share" barely requires any effort and is the far more appealing course of action when users see something that reinforces their beliefs.
True, what's particularly unfair about it is that the companies tend to use proceeds from an industry in which they have a monopoly to fund their price war in other industries where they don't yet have a monopoly. The strategy seems to be to monopolise each industry one after another, using the proceeds of the previously captured monopoly to capture the next one.

If this keeps going, eventually we're going to end up with one giant mega-corporation which owns everything. There will be no more government to protect citizens; everyone will work for that company and it will be the most unfair class system imaginable.
> There's no harm in using/coding against the windows api

It needlessly restricts your platform though. For example, I was very interested in the handmade hero tutorials linked elsewhere here, but was dismayed that the first few lessons are all windows api. I don't have a windows machine anymore, so I have no use for those lessons. I'm sure I can still learn from the later lessons, but I won't be able to simply follow along with his code. A significant number of people, especially people who would play Indie games, are now using macbooks nowadays. Maybe still not the windows gamers numbers, but enough that I wouldn't ignore it, and I've passed on quite a number of promising looking Indie games because they were windows only. Windows API is also notoriously clunky, at least, compared to the wrapper libraries.

Obviously if you only have a windows machine, by all means, focus on making it work for that, but why put roadblocks in your way for potential future ports when nowadays you really don't have to because great cross platform abstractions exist (SDL2, GLFW, SMFL, ...)

> There's nothing wrong with learning a platform.

Sure. If that's your goal. If its just a means to an end, why not use a library to do the hard work so you can focus on what you actually want to do (and not locking you out of other platforms later without a ton of work is an added bonus).
Ironically, watching iRacing (arguably a very realistic simulator) Pro series with F1 cars has all the same problems as real F1 racing has. Not a lot of overtaking (a bit more than the real thing, though) and lots of subtle things that aren't visible to the casual observer.

Dirt Rally is a recent Codemasters game that is excellent, if you're into rallying. It's almost as good as Richard Burns Rally, and miles ahead of any other rally game/sim.

You can indeed change the Alt-Tab behaviour with an extension, but not what the power button does. It used to be possible, but they decided it was to disruptive and removed the option, which is the standard Gnome policy.
I found an extension to show the shutdown dialog via Alt+PowerButton though.
I think a good ORM is one that isn#t just "hide SQL from the devs" and rather "hide trivial SQL from the devs and let them get dirty if they want to".

Some ORMs I've worked with allowed me to completely bypass the ORM system while still getting most of the benefits. I do recall a ORM that I've use a long while ago that didn't support reading Views as objects but it could be trivially added simply by writing a custom query method which was unpacked like any other query into the object and that worked for Views then.

Some of his closing remarks about the future of technology are hard to believe. I highly doubt passwords will entirely disappear in favour of "Trusona". I personally will not be submitting to any authentication scheme that can "100% identify the person remotely". It sounds like a bigger vulnerability than the one it solves.

I also find it hard to believe that the FBI can remotely disable a car's engine in the general case. I drive a car which has no ECU. And even cars which do have ECUs don't all have the ability for the ECU to receive radio signals. And even cars that do have the ability to control the ECU with radio signals probably aren't all vulnerable.

Edit: but, aside from that, I thoroughly enjoyed the talk. I intend to watch the film.

>How are working conditions: organized, chaotic or brutal?

Chaotic, and something less than brutal. The first two months I worked there were the most painful of my life, but now I find it more tedious than physically strenuous. Dehydration and repetitive stress injuries are a problem, as is environmental noise, at least where I am.

I wouldn't discount anyone's horror stories about working at Amazon, though. It's a big network, and I'm in a large, modern facility with partial automation so I'm probably in a better position than a lot of people.

>Are there reasonable accommodations for the reality of life's un/certainties like doctors appointments, family/dependent emergencies and similar?

Not always. They allow for emergency time off, sick days, etc like any other company, but they will also sometimes not give much forewarning about mandatory extra time, since that's determined by "business need," and can last indefinitely if Amazon decides. I've seen many complaints from employees with children/other jobs/obligations about it.

>Are workers paid a living wage for the area?

Amazon pays below the cost of living here, but higher than some other entry level jobs, and justifies that by claiming the other benefits they offer make them competitive. As a result (and very likely by design), many employees are forced to work voluntary overtime to make ends meet, or find a second job.

>And what's the prevalence or seasonality of CamperForce workers?

I've never seen them, but I've only ever worked in one location.

I picked the book up for a dollar at a used bookstore, not expecting much. I then proceeded to tear through it in less than a day. It's a phenomenal story. The book includes everything in the movie, of course, plus a lot of fine details of how he pulled off his scams (I think a lot of HN users would like these; very hacker-like), PLUS an extraordinary section expanding on his time in French and Swedish prisons. The French prison is mentioned in the movie, but they, if anything, downplayed what it was like.

I've since learned that maybe much of it was embellished, but I still recommend it.

BONUS Frank Abagnale story-slash-rumor: I heard from a friend of a friend that, soon after the movie came out, Courtney Love was tripping out on "something" and started screaming that she needed to speak with Frank Abagnale--somebody who she had never spoken to nor had ever mentioned before. Her agent called somebody, who called somebody else, who called somebody else, and within 30 minutes Frank was on the phone having a long conversation with Courtney, calming her down. No real point to this story, other than it's neat how the six-degrees-of-separation works in show business circles.

Possible, but improbable (the private address space is fairly large, and most companies are very imaginatively using 10.[0-9], I have yet to see a 10.11. anywhere. 192.168 is indeed everywhere, but 172.16 is by far the rarest). You're setting yourself up for the exact same issue that Hamachi had, when it started using the 5/8 space for VPN - suddenly the block owner started using those addresses for outside purposes.
Social media can’t file a lawsuit and a lawsuit is how you solve these issues. You have to prove infringement, you have to present evidence. You don’t “try” your case on the phone with Netflix. You file a lawsuit, you wait for an answer and then typically you settle out of court. Copyright infringement that is easily proven against a company like Netflix would be a slam dunk case — there would be attorneys that would take that on a contingency basis because it would be so easy: likely two or three letters sent and a stop by the courthouse to file the lawsuit — then a settlement offer of $5000 or so, with $1800 going to the attorney for barely 2 hours work.
In terms of finding issues caused by multiple mutations, it isn't so much a case of not having enough computing power - instead, it is about having enough patients with the same condition that gives enough statistical power to say for sure that these variants are the cause.

Humans are extremely variable. If I do whole-genome sequencing on a random person, I'll find probably 3 million places in their DNA where they differ from the average Joe. 90% of those are common variants, and we can filter those out because we know they are common, but that still leaves on the order of 300,000 variants that are rare, the vast majority of which cause absolutely nothing.

We already diagnose conditions caused by two mutations - they are called compound heterozygous, because there are two heterozygous mutations, one on each copy of a particular gene, therefore clobbering both copies and causing disease. We have very very few conditions where we know that mutations on multiple genes are required for disease - they are simply too hard to look for, as we don't have enough people in the world to get the statistical power.
You do get additional 2-3TB per instance which alone is a couple hundred $$ in bandwidth savings. Will it cover the price of these extra instances? Obviously if you need 8 SSDs DO isn't for you. But the real question is - could GCP be more lean back and still provide the same level of service? I think so.
